Rut and Temp changes
Here in Conn we had some great cold weather and deer were moving everywhere it was great I heard grunts, Bleats, 2 fights it was awesome especially since this is my second year hunting,
Now it has been exceptionally warm the last few days with some decent rains also and tommorow its supposed to be cloudy but in the mid 60's or so, is that raise in temp going to put the deer on there beds and stop moving or will they just be up and around from no rain in a few days?

RE: Rut and Temp changes
Warm weather won't stop the rut however it will shut it down during the higher temps. Rutting activity happens more after dark in the coolers temps. Same thing happened here last week. Monday was fanstastic, cool temps, deer moving, towards the end of the week it was quiet. The moon didn't help at all either.
Our season ended. I did however tag out earlier, I was hunting with friends as camera man.
