Rut Intensity

[nannyslayer]

So how did the doe numbers compare to previous years?

I would say the same or maybe a few more mature doe's. Didn't see quite the fawns this year that I have in the past though.

I have a spot where it gets hunted heavily for does every year and I saw basically no rut action there, even with seeing a group of 2 or 3 does per sit. On another farm that I hunt there are still tons of does and I saw good, consistent action all season. Before the rifle seasons the first farm I mentioned was a rut hunting mecca, now its mediocre at best.

SE,
When you say good action all season at the one farm are you talking about mature bucks rutting or just rut action in particular.

You are so lucky you live on the opposite side of the state.... But, I'll say this, a doggy bag full of extra rib tips is far better than a crotch critter, SCHMUCK!

I'm just talking about rut action in particular. Very poor year for mature buck sightings.
