I was talking with "hunter"'s Dad this weekend and he stated that he'd observed a buck chasing some does this past week, and had also seen a pair of bucks with antlers locked, doing their battle thing.
I saw bucks together in "bachelor groups" last weekend and this Friday night, but Saturday the bucks were out in the fields alone, and I did see one large buck messin' with a doe earlier in the evening.
"hunter"'s Dad stated that he's got some magical book or formula that has calculated an early rut starting around Oct. 10th and the Full Moon in Oct. this year. He stated that it happens in 7 year cycles and this is the 7th year.
I think the the cold fronts that we're experiencing in Northwest Jersey are playing a big part of what we are observing to be early signs of the start of the rut.
Anyone else seeing the same thing, especially this early?[confused]
