[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5492267, member: 7419"] That is the issue. This isn't a single year, seems to be every year for the last 10 years. Rut seems to start in Early November. Big bucks show up starting between Nov. 5th and 10th. Does start disappearing and abandoning fawns around the 12th-14th. "Lockdown" seems to occur at the end of ML or right around gun opener, depending on the year (this year ~Nov.17th). A lot of times gun opener is dead. This year saw 0, which is abnormal, but does happen. Saw one fawn on Sunday. Then started seeing fawns and young bucks. Then the Tuesday before TG I see a buck chasing a doe on a different property. Wednesday Afternoon, I see a 4 pt full on chasing a doe on my place grunting and everything, then a random 2.5 yr old on TG morning. Then it dies again. Seems like every year does go in to estrous around Nov. 10th-12th. Big buck daytime pics occur from around Nov. 5th through the 17th, but usually from the 12th-16th, but they are passing through. I try to take these days off, but work doesn't always allow for it.. However I have seen bucks (mostly young, but some big) and had pics of daytime chasing as late as Nov. 29th. It seems most of my does come in to estrous early and then I have does going in to estrous around Thanksgiving, which is why this thought crossed my mind. Later I have fawns go in in December, and have had instances of a fawn going in in January and that is when I get pics of bucks that I've never seen before and they are usually pretty big. [/QUOTE]
