Default RE: Late rut?

I hunt 2 properties in SE Iowa. On one property the bucks were chasing does 2 weeks ago and last week my youngest brother took a doe that was full blown estrous. (his first bowkill) However the property I mailnly hunt Ive been paying close attention to the does and the tarsal glands are still white as snow. Ive rattled in a couple small bucks but the big boys just walk past the does and pay no attention to the rattling or grunting. Im still finding fresh rubs around there too. Its only 15 miles west of where the actions taking place but right now its still prerut happening there. It makes no sense to me.
