Rutting

[khmer6]

That's a beautiful arse shot. Does the rut seem to be happening earlier this year than last to anyone else?

Seen a buck that had to have a 30" spread with 3 does last night. Went back this morning and there was a small buck working 9 does all morning. Didn't see the big boy again.

Yes!! I am loving hearing all of this!

Went out Sunday morning and saw quite a few deer. The coues were rutting harder than the muleys in this area.

Been hunting Redington, can find four muley does in the same area plus other onesie does here and there, no bucks at all. Should I keep on these does until a buck shows up? New to bow hunting muleys, often I can only get out in the evening, that shouldn't stop me from seeing bucks once the rut sets in though? Lots of track, droppings, and beds, haven't identified any rubs. Shooters and offroaders everywhere, maybe the bucks are just very scarce and careful? Maybe I should try somewhere on the desert floor over by the San Pedro, Little Dragoons, or Whetstones?

Watched a buck chase does for about an hour yesterday morning. Another buck was trailing them, but he was not in a fighting mood.

Rut is on fire. love is in the air. almost too intense. chasing and pushing all day. hard to get a shot off when they dont stop running. saw 3 younger bucks pushing one doe and that was the least of our action.
