I feel that the rut stages have been going on for awhile. It is peaking right now in most places I have survied. In just a few more days I think they will be locking down, and already have in some spots. Early, as I thought. I would like to know from the guys who use the predictions from what they read in the mags, see on TV, Charles Asheimers predictions, Lunar tables, or whatever, to tell us if they are accurate or still could be this year. I've never gone by them so I don't pay much attention. If you don't agree with me on my feelings on where things are right now, let me know.
