[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5707799, member: 17"] Because a neighboring migratory bird refuge was attempting to eradicate the deer population through Earn-A-Buck programs (must shoot a doe before shooting a buck), my place ran a sex ratio favoring bucks for years (all the does were dead). This produced a VERY intense but VERY short rut. If you were there for the few days a year the rut was "on," it was crazy. But the rut would shut down very fast, and once it was over, it was over. I also worked on a very large property (6,000 acres) where we intentionally drove the sex ratio to 2 bucks per doe (out of curiosity/research purposes). Again, crazy intense but short rut. In addition, lots and lots of bucks with broken racks and missing eyes from fighting, as well as significant buck mortality due to fighting. In addition, because of the crazy herd dynamics, the rut was a month earlier than on surrounding properties. [/QUOTE]
