[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5492996, member: 17"] There certainly can be breeding as late as march. I once saw a full-blown estrus chase on Easter. But also be careful with observations of bucks acting "rutty" in late march and early April. Bucks' bodies produce a surge of testosterone in late spring which causes their old antlers to fall off and their new set to begin growing. This little surge of male hormones will cause bucks to suddenly start working scrapes again. Every year, right around turkey season opener, I get calls from clients worried about the fresh scrapes they are seeing (worried their rut is screwed up). It isn't late rutting, it's just the normal process of antlergenesis. [/QUOTE]
