Hunting was kind of slow and there wasn’t much activity during the last 4 days on the 5 cameras I checked so either rut is winding down early or there just weren’t any does in heat in this spot and most of the bucks were prowling elsewhere which seems more likely because the peak of the rut usually lasts until at least the 17th before it fades and the bucks start spending most of their time trying to put back on some of the weight they lost chasing does over the last month before winter sets in for real.
