[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5508954, member: 20583"] Around here in Coffee County I usually see pre-rut rubs & scrapes explode last week of October into early November. By third week of November doe groups are dispersed and does disappear for days at a time due to lock-down. Late November into early December there is a turnover of bucks as new strange bucks begin randomly cruising through, and I see lock-down tapering off. By second week of December does are grouped back up into small herds. By Christmas young bucks are bachelor grouped up again. This year the pre-rut rush didn't happen until last week of November, a month late. Lock-down & tending didn't start happening until last few days of November into first week of December. Everything else afterward has been on time. So for here the pre-rut was nearly a month late and actual breeding seemed 7-10 days late. It's as if the rut was held back until it broke loose, then all of the pre-rut and breeding happened all at once to catch up and get back on track. Activity right now is on par with every other previous year. Front half of the rut was scrunched up and delayed but the back half is normal on time. [/QUOTE]
