Sneaker Report post Posted September 8, 2014 It doesn't look like the rut is kicking in, haven't heard any calling, and its supposed to be hotter than average in the Kingman area for most of the hunt. I was hoping I could at least hunt some of the good waters if the rut wasn't good, but its been raining up here for a couple hours now, with 90% chances of more tomorrow. So I guess, bring on the spot and stalk! Just worrying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted September 8, 2014 Be patient. The rut can happen overnight at any time. My early hunt a few years ago i only had a couple days of rut activity for the whole two weeks. But those couple days were great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pine Donkey Report post Posted September 8, 2014 It is the time of year, they can't turn it off. They may not be as active in the hotter weather, but the days are getting shorter and heat can't turn off biology. Enjoy the hunt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmbbulldog Report post Posted September 8, 2014 The last week of the archery hunt should be fantastic. Can't wait. For those that care, no moon those last few days either. Can't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first week of the muzzleloader hunt should be better! I think they are a little late in one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
