What does weather have to do w/ animals going into the rut?  I have read posts where people say a coming weather change should help get the deer into rut?  I am heading out for a late blacktail hunt this week and was trying to sound smart around the campfire when I get there :tup:  Thanks!
The weather has nothing to do with it. When it gets cold the deer have to be out feeding longer and moving more making them more visible. Lots of hunters mistake this for being the rut. Cold weather certainly helps hunting because of the increased movement but means nothing to the timing.

I agree with Nails ..but remember one thing ..once it starts freezing for a few nights and then the sun comes out in the Mid Morning to early afternoon it is game on ...be out like rabbits  :hunter:

Lots of pics of muley bucks showing some rutting/herding behavior on my trail cams, but not much for whitetail activity yet...it will change soon I am certain.

Just what I wanted to hear. I know they have been starting since the end of October but wasn't sure if it they would be in between cycles or not

My dad saw a 3x4 blacktail about 18 wide chasing a doe with another 3x3 watching yesterday.  He said a lot of grunting from both bucks and the doe was bleating.
