[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4105170, member: 69"] For the most part warmer weather will curtail most of the day time movement during the rut. Couple that with many of the bucks locking down on does in heat and the potential for movement lessens even more. But.... I have seen bucks chasing hard (and not just the young bucks that will start pestering does pre rut) when the weather was warm. Each buck is an individual and has his own characteristics. A buck peaked out on testosterone, especially at the onset of the rut and encountering the first hot doe, may be so fired up that he loses his "normal" inhibitions about daylight travel. I personally think that after he has mated for the first or even second time during the season that all out drive starts dwindling. He may still be involved in the rut but it may be more sporadic. Point is, you may not see as much daylight activity when the temperatures rise but the possibility is always there. [/QUOTE]
