Title: Late muzzle 460 rut?
Post by: Keebler213 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?

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.

What were the dates on your pictures? Anything recent?
