the rut is coming fast
#12
Just trying to clear the air a bit on swollen necks. The neck actually dosen't just swell up because of the rut. It is because deer are using there neck muscles more which cause there neck to grow during the rut not swell. Like when you work out your muscles more they buldge and grow. The neck isn't actully just swelling up.

Saw a nice 8 pt (about 16-17" spread) just walking down the middle of a road at 4:00 in the afternoon yesterday, broad daylight. So yeah, they are starting to search bigtime.
