For me each year it's not so much as to when the rut is going to be? Rather what is the rut going to be like? Every year seems to be unique in it's own way with this year no different. This year was a year of little deer sightings. Not much chasing at all, however lots of cruising! After having drawn back on a couple shooters and not closing the deal finally on 11/12/14 I was fortunate to take a deer I was after.
