That's precisely where the rutting moon theory loses some of its edge. Whereas you haven't even seen chasing yet, the bucks here in Iowa have been on their feet and chasing does hard core for the last 5 or 6 days.Both locationsare in the same rutting moon phase, but the action is vastly different.
That's what makes it a theory, I mean, you can argue the theory of evolution, plate tectonics, etc. etc. because there are always going to be little things that can throw it from being fact. Alsheimer does have, what, 5000+ data points and has done this study for over 15 years so I tend to think he knows what he's talkin about. You just have to remember, as with any theory, there are parameters outside that which is being studied
