Does anyone out there have any input on the post season rut hunt? I plan to go back out to bow huntin dec after the gun season has ended. How long do you think it will take deer to come out of hiding and resume normal activity? Or does muzzleloading season have a big affect?

I think its 21 days when a doe comes back into heat after the first time.

28-29 days according to Charles Alsheimer, deer biologist. They don't actually go into "hiding", they may go a little more nocturnal but if you get out there they will still be in rut for the next few weeks.
