Default Charles Alsheimer's 2005 rut predictions

Just received my 2005 calender from Deer & Deer Hunting magizine. This calender is put together by Charles Alsheimer. I really don't plan my vacation by this calender as I always take at least the first two weeks of Nov anyway but this year he is predicting the rut to start with the seeking phase on Nov 10th and chashing to start on Nov 15th and actual breeding to take place starting Nov 17th. Last year he had it at Oct 25 for the seek....Nov 1 for the chash....and Nov 9th for the breeding to start. With the peek of the rut beginning with the seeking phase he has it peeking 17 days later this year. Had I had the calender when I submitted my vac time I would have STILL taken the first two week of Nov anyway. Will be interesting to compare his last year's predictions with this years.
