No, Matt.....let me explain.

When you think of the rut.....you think of bucks roaming the woods willy-nilly searching for the hot does.

Drive South to NC, now......and we have Does running the woods willy-nilly searching for bucks.

Honestly....I've never seen a taper off in DOE activity. I betcha I haven't had 12 buck SIGHTINGS all year. I know I've only seen 5 different antlered bucks all year. BUT....I can always count on doe sightings......just not right now! It's weird.
