Rut Questions

[Brown]

75 degrees here tomorrow in north AR and this is the peak chasing time.... Harvest is over and it’s still 65 degrees walking to the stand. I’ll csll it like it is, warming.

So near Houston we are below average temperature, should I call it like it is, cooling?

Interesting on the Drippin' report and Burnet Co report. I live in Dripping on acreage and have only seen bucks cruising. No chasing.

This morning I'm in my blind in Burnet Co (Spicewood). I've had four different bucks eating corn with ZERO sign of rut.

Crazy.

That is crazy.

For reference, when I say rut I mean a buck locked down with a doe. Every day this week there have been bucks in “dummy mode” out in the open. Several are the most mature in the area.

what is your definition of "rut"?

My definition of the rut would be any time that a mature buck is willing to throw caution to the wind in a effort to breed with an estrous doe. I believe that on average the "peek " for this type of activity always falls on or around the first full moon after fall equinox
