RE: The 2008 Rut That Wasn't?
I think it's because the chase hasn't started yet.The bucks are just now breaking up from the bachelor groups and trolling around to see what's up. All the scrapes are worked every day which won't happen once the chase begins. Patience Grasshopper.... Patience. We saw several bucks last week and weekend in Ohio just wandering. We finally saw one nice 10 pointer following a doe on Friday at high noon in an open cut corn field. She'd walk he'd follow. She'd stop and he'd stop a good 5-10 yards behind her. He never made an attempt to get closer. She'd start walking and he'd follow. We watched them and made a video for a good 10 minutes. Get ready around the end of the week for something to start happening.
