mathews4life Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Well its January 10 and our rut has not even started. I bet pretty much every other state has had theirs already. Its getting later and later here every year. Since we are pretty much all bottom land down here in louisiana the DOWF is saying that the reason for this is so that the does can drop their yearlings off later in the summer months when the water has pretty much receeded(causing less drownings). Its amazing how they can adapt but it sucks because the season is almost over and the rut has shown no signs of starting. Any of your states have a late rut?

wtnhunt Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Still No Rut Never did see any rutting activity here this season whatsoever. poor weather and other factors played a part, but not so sure the bucks ever got into even chasing any does around here this year.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Still No Rut That's definitely late! They rutted in old Mexico Christmas week - about a week earlier than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Re: Still No Rut Sounds like to me ya'll have a major doe over population. Or way to many bucks being harvested. Look at it like this, if you had women crawling all over you, would you be running around chasing the wind. Or would you stay where all the women are. When you have to many does, the bucks have all they can handle and don't have to come out of the bushes to chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Re: Still No Rut Yes we are on DMAP and we have doe tags. And they said we have to many does, but w/ this ****** weather the deer are moving at night. Everyone around the area is having the same problems. Some ppl dont want to shoot does because they dont understand that that's what you have to do to get the ratio right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
