Mike Belt said:I suppose a well balanced sex ration makes for healthier deer in the long run but it sure shortens the rutting action you might see....or don't. I also guess it's in how you define intense but the intensity of the rut seems lower than when the sexual balance heavily favored does. It really lends credence to the saying right place, right time.
More balanced sex ratios USUALLY mean a shorter but far more intense rut. I've seen these results occur over and over again. But every situation is unique, and Ames obviously has some unique dynamics going on (the lack of heavy rubbing activity there has me stumped).
