Default Slow Rut??????????

Hey folks, we have been having a little warmer than normal weather here this Novemeber. No snow on the ground and temps are hitting 10 dergrees in the day time. I don't claim to be an expert but the weather is what I am blaming the lack of deer activity on. I hunted 3 days this past week, which is usually prime time rut, and had a really hard time finding a decent deer. Plenty of does and smaller bucks but the big guys just don't seem to be quite in the mood yet. Sat evening i was surrounded by well over 20 does and fawns and a buck did not appear until well after shooting time. Even when he did appear he was not hot after the does like he should be. Hopefully things turn around by the end of this week because it will be my last chance to hunt this year. Anyone else having these same problems?
