The time that a HUNTER can be in the woods, may or may not coincide with the time that deer are more active due to rut or changes in the local weather.
Aside from personal time, the hunting regulations dictate the TIME that we are allowed to be in the woods.
So many variables, really!
This coming week I am doing the controlled hunt in 78B.
I can be out every morning Monday to Friday.
I cannot be out every evening but plan to go as many times as possible.
My daughter needs a ride home from school every afternoon but the weather will be nice mid-week so she can walk one or two days I guess!
Did I say the weather will be NICE? Yes I did. So what do we do about this? Can't change the time of the controlled hunt. It is what it is. Although for me, I can continue with archery equipment until the end.
There are almost no deer where I hunt this year, so I am really hoping that they would appear by magic this week. Had to leave a note for a trespasser two days ago. An old friend has obtained a controlled hunt validation for himself and his two sons this year and wants to come hunt in my area as well, so I will take him and possibly his sons at some point as well.
So, with all these variables, I am not sure what to think when it comes to the possibility of a "2nd rut" happening. We all have our own set of variables and success - in my opinion - always depends on a bit of luck as well.
