Just stating some facts to help those that think that it's too late...

1. The most accurate fetal conception dates have a range of 20 days. No biologist will argue differently...they know better.

2. Bucks stay with a hot doe for up to 72hrs....that means, he can't physically be with every hot doe in one day in any given area. Does don't come into estrous all at the same time. Time and common sense are on your side. Be in the woods and render tending grunts as most bucks aspire to be the next Ron Jeremy of the woods and will almost always check out a tending grunt.

3. You absolutely positively will not ever score on a beast....by sitting on some forum thinking about coulda, whoulda, shoulda, etc. To kill deer you have to be out with the deer.

There is no rocket science.

The poeple that tell you the rut is over, are mostly the folks that got lucky and have scored on a big buck already.
