I don't want to plug up the other thread with this, so here goes:
I pay ZERO attention to any hunting forecast apps, not sure I have ever seen one. I pay TONS of attention to Interstate 70. I have been driving the same stretch for the last 24 seasons. I don't expect it to ever be like 20 years ago, but it's a great deer movement monitor. During the cold snap around Halloween, it was painted red more than I have seen in years,as soon as it warmed up,no more paint. Personally, I would say movement in my area has been "average", with some days better than others. If "trickle rut" is a real thing,it makes sense to me that the next few years we should have some really great bucks running around. Reason being,if the does are coming in heat at a trickle instead of all at once, the dominant bucks SHOULD do most of the breeding. I have no proof to back any of this up, but it's definitely a possibility.
