Sept 1st 2013 rut has started

Well time once again has snuck up on me and the 2013 season is here..2 days ago I saw my first buck running does.It was a small spike with velvet still not quite rubbed off. Every time he got close to the doe she would turn and rear up on her hind legs a run him off for a ways but he just kept on going after her.
  I have been involved with several game departments out west as an employee and volunteer and they all have one thing in common.They always lie to the public about the rut time.
  I have said it in other posts but I'll say it again.I have always been asked when the rut REALLY starts.It is simple.When the bucks rub the velvet off the rut is on.When is the peak ? October when the moon is full they run all night sleep all day.
  Why do the game Depts tell you the rut is in November.They are just trying to control you.There are many people that listen to them no matter what they say and never question them..
Now here is a formular that will tell you when the peak is in your area.The pregnacy of a doe is 7 months so as soon as you start seeing those fawns in late April and May just count back 7 months and you will see it puts you back to late Sept and October.If the breeding peaked in November you would not see fawns until June and July and they would not really be big enough if an early blast of winter hits. Then why is the hunting good in November ?Oldtimers like me and others I worked with call it the frustration month.All the does have been pretty much bred and now the Bucks have to take some long hikes to try and find a doe and that combined with alot of the leaves dropping off gives you more visiblity.They are frustrated and some real good fights take place.I have hunted states down south and Northeast and Northwest and I have found almost no difference in rut times.
  For me it looks like a tough year .Acorns are spotty and the continuous slaughter of deer by this one group have reduced the herd greatly 50 deer left to rot in the last 2 years and the MDC does not give a shit,so the landowners will have to watch and this year and you just might hear about someone getting their ass shot dead..
