I'll ask you the same thing I asked him (although you're getting on my nerves with your incessant whining and questioning).....

If it was "after the rut" (as he claims) ....why was the buck chasing the does?

I've already said....if it's during the rut...all bets are off. ANY time on stand is good. Outside the rut...I think you can do as much (or more) damage to your season as good.

If he's chasing does...it is NOT "after the rut". Otherwise....he wouldn't be chasing.
