Post by: Little Fish on November 20, 2008, 09:59:40 AM: CP - I think they are still rutting. I took a forked horn at the coast last weekend (late modern). He was hanging with the ladies and had shredded tree bark all over the bases of his antlers. I am pretty sure I would have never spotted him if he hadn't been being wreckless because of the rut.

On a side note. I tried rattling over the weekend as well, but had no luck.
