RE: When is the rut?
What does "racks and shoulder mounts" have to do with "full blown rut", other than the bucks acted stupid. It proves nothing in respect to breeding.
I'm not familiar with the definition of "full blown rut", what does it mean?
Dr. Karl Miller, professor of wildlife at GA U and a deer biologist, who has studied the effects of the moon on breeding, told his good friend Charles Alsheimer - that he is wrong in his predictions. And Karl has the data to prove it; I know - becaus I gave it to him.
God bless,
