RE: The 2008 Rut That Wasn't?
I just got in the housefrom another doe hunt. Now that I'm actually wanting to take one, they have really changed their behavior due to the pressure from the bucks and I'm not finding them as easily as a couple weeks ago. I saw a single doe tonight, but had no less than 8-10 different bucks around my stand. A big 150-ish ten pointwas tending to the lone doe while bucks of all various sizes were doing fly-bys on her. I had bucks snorting, grunting, posturing, and all-out fighting. All in the last 40 minutes of daylight. The most activity I've seen this year.
