I hope you're right, but of course it depends on your location. Apparently "they" are predicting a late rut this season because of the moon phases, but there was a knowledgeable guy who used to post a lot here (T.R. Michaels) that insisted that the moon phase does NOT affect the rut. I hope he's right because a late rut means it will occur in full firearms season, and that means everyone and their brother will be out hunting by then.
