[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4102611, member: 2805"] The condition the does are in determines when they ovulate and come into estrus (in conjunction with the length of days). That then controlls the timing of breeding/ rut. This year, with the amount of moisture/ forage/ additional croplands, I would suspect the deer to be in incredible shape going into the fall. And therefore the peak of the rut could be potentially shifted a few days earlier than average. This past weekend, the 1.5 and 2.5 y/o bucks were on their feet pestering the heck out of the does. The does weren't ready, but the young bucks were still frisky (same as years past during juvie since it was moved to last weekend of October). The mature bucks were still nocturnal and moving very little. [/QUOTE]
