here in warren county, pennsylvania just south of jamestown ny, the rut is in full stride. i' ve been driving down the road and saw two trophy bucks on two different days in completely different weather chasing does across the road. one day it was damn near 60 degrees and sunny.... two does ran across the road right in front of me. i stopped my truck and a Huge buck damn near ran right in the side of me chasing them does. three days later i was driving on a different road, it was freezing rain, windy and cold and a bunch of does ran out onto the road chased by an even bigger buck than the one i saw the three days before.
