AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I have already seen scrapes in Michigan and lots of them. So maybe its the weather making the rut seem earlier than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colescott1 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: bucks chasing does Mid October, does go through a short, 3-4 day estrus cycle. Then 28 days later hit there full cycle, which is right in time for the "normal" rut. Natures way of getting the bucks fired up and ready.
