@BSK Where I hunt in MS the rut light switch usually gets thrown on Christmas day. December 26th my cousin saw 2 big bucks chasing does, but didn't have a shot on either. We hunted hard December 29-January 2, but the highs were in the upper 60s and we didn't see much of anything. The highs went from 10*F to 70*F in a couple days. Does a huge weather swing like that affect the rut at all? Will the cold front coming in Friday have a positive effect on the rut?
