RE: massachusetts rut
on thursday and friday we had bucks on the move. checking scrapes too. but today there was nothing. which i can see because its just too warm for them to move continuous, hopefully with the cooler weather this week it will get moving again. 60s is just to warm for me. it has been a real weird scrape year, compared to past years, and the bucks are still there. in my area, there are absolutely no acorns. i do think that may play a big part of it with the scrapes. as far as energy and surviving the winter with no food. do they eat hickory nuts? ihave a ton of them.
