I don't put a lot of stock in outdoor writers articles. Just a very quick glance though it talked about weather affecting deer movement, not about putting off the rut?

I just thought it was an interesting "simple" article to share here. Many outdoor writers are inaccurate so I guess you know more then they do, in some ways.

Temperature has zero effect on deer coming into estrous .. Warm days will NOT push the rut back one day.. Yep...but it can squelch the does movement...and if they aren't moving nothing is following them! Of course it can be 90 and a buck can chase one by.

Interesting article ..maybe, but it has nothing to do with the subject at hand.. Warm weather putting off the rut..

If a doe is in heat or very close a buck will make her stand up..

I agree if a doe is in estrous doesn't really matter what the weather is doing. A buck is going to be all over her. I do agree that the heat will suppress daytime activity some, more so with the doe's but a buck with rising test level's is going to be active. I have seen multiple bucks every day this week. Me not hunting today is just a personal thing. Not wanting to walk a mile in this heat scenting up my area. Have got several reports from this morning of bucks chasing up until 10:30 or so. Make no mistake seeking is in full gear and chasing just beginning. Late next week chasing should be full out with cooling temps.
