Nothing good happens at 2:00am. The doe was singing this song the next morning.

One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em

We have been hunting in the southern Big Thicket units since the 80's and the main rut period has been the end of September to mid October. That photo is not a one-time deal. It was taken north of Beaumont. A good portion of southern Hardin County follows the rut pattern of the Gulf Coast deer. Just 40 years of in the woods observation. Northern Hardin County may tend to have have normal timing of end of October into November.
