F&S Whitetail Heat Map

I don't put much faith in stuff like that. You see it every fall on the forums. One guy sees a 2.5 year old pushing a doe and the rut is in full swing, despite it being 2-3 weeks before normal peak rut dates. The rut is kicking off, but it is a several week process and if you miss tonight, you won't miss the whole thing.
 
There's also an app for the field and stream map. I don't trust it completely but it's fun to look at.
 
Also I checked it on Sunday and Ohio was green and now it's all the sudden saying it's red and prime rut. I think that's just because it's a cool day and makes bucks get a little feisty.
