I'll be back and post the correct answer. I said I would - butbefore that -I thought I'd letyou see how many hunters have differing ideas on the subject, and obvioulsy they aren't all right.


According to T.R. - The reason WHY the correct answer is important is because IF you are seeing a particular buck on a semi-regular basis, and then you don't see it for a while, it may be bcause the buck is folowing an estrus doe. So - if you know how long a doe is likely to be in estrus - then you can either continue to huntfor that buck and maybe not see it, or feel confident that it will leave the doe (whendever she is out of estrurs) and begin hunting it again when he is likely to return to semi-normal activity.
