RE: Rut weather
I always take several weeks off this time of year (leave started today!) And every year, I aggravate my wife with my complaining about the weather. Last year we had record high temps -- 88 degrees in November! And when it finally DID cool down somewhat, the wind and rain started up. Rob is right, the rut will still take place, but warm temps will suppress daytime activity.
Right now, I'm contending with a full moon as well.
