Yea the rut is pretty much over. But you may be able to get a late rutting buck to come into a call.
Best of luck,
Cody

Late season plus bad weather means you can find a big one anytime of the day.

 :yeah: the nastier the weather the longer I want to be out, and when a bad weather front is moving in they seem to know it and try to stock up great time to be in the woods, or a field's edge as it maybe

they go into a 2nd rut around thanksgiving... missed a shot at a good bt last year who had his nose up a doe's @ss. Pray for no frost on the ground and try to be out there as much as you can regardless of the weather being good or bad (bad is good)
