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 Thanks!

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.
In kahlotus small bucks are acting rutty but the big boys aren't all out yet. To a pic of this guy Saturday.
With the wetside late season opening up in a couple of days. I am a bit curious if any of you have been out and seen any rut activity lately? I will either be hunting kitsap county or Jefferson. Not sure which yet
