nubo,

Last Thursday, we finally had lows in the single digits and highs in the upper 30s (which is normal), so I thought the rut would really be going strong. How wrong I was. I saw 1 doe the whole morning, and she had no bucks on her trail. My dad was out that morning and never saw a deer. I saw lots of does with fawns(and no bucks to be found) over the weekend, which definitely is not normal for this time of year. It's definitely not a typical year here in the north country. It is supposed to finally cool down to normal for an extended period of time come this weekend so I'm hoping against hope that there will still be some signs of the rut going on. Maybe the warm weather delayed things a couple weeks?
