Late muzzle 460 rut?
« on: December 03, 2014, 10:15:44 AM »
I spent 4 days of my Thanksgiving weekend out hunting in 460 and didnt have any luck. I saw multiple sets of does with no bucks so I am assuming the rut is over. Anyone else have any input and where they might be?

I haven't checked my cameras recently, as in not in the last 2 weeks or so, but on the 14th they were still all rutted up.

Was up there yesterday and ran into the same scenario.  No bucks with the does I saw.

This is December, the rut is definitely over. It's done by mid November.

That  buck was all over a doe who was in the camera 1 minute prior.

Saw a spike with a doe today. Then later just saw a few more does. Unit 460.

I'm thinking it's pretty dead. I'm going into bush wack mode tomorrow.  I had a doe come up behind me on the same trail I was on. She walked within 20ft of me. I thought there would be a buck somewhere near, but no luck. That was the only thing I saw today. 2-3 weeks ago they were cruising all over this area.

I have 3 cameras in 460 for a buddy of mine. The bucks were rutting hard when I checked this past Sunday. Several bucks with does.

What were the dates on your pictures? Anything recent?
