Not going to lie, these reports don't make me feel warm and fuzzy about third season. Hopefully this turns around by the weekend. Thanks for sharing input to those that did.
I leave tonight for Archery WT in NE nebraska. So I wont be too jealous of you getting there early. lolHopefully all the big ones come out during third… cause that’s when I’m hunting haha
Rut wont be til 11/20 for sure! Cause thats when my hunt starts.
Been involved in a few rut fests in in central/ no co but 9-13th of Nov, I agree, October I’m looking above does and for bachelor groupsRealistically, that's right about the timeline of the the rut proper in the SW portion of the state. Its probably a little earlier in the Northern portion of the state, but I'm a bit confused by people who are/were (apparently) expecting to see rutting behaviours in October.
Sounds like fun! I’ll be on limited time in an awful unit so I think your big bucks will be safe hahaI leave tonight for Archery WT in NE nebraska. So I wont be too jealous of you getting there early. lol
Yes, i was expecting a deer orgy in the middle of the highway.I'd wager 2nd rifle is probably the most difficult season to hunt mule deer bucks. That being said, with significant October snow, I'd wager the success rates were higher than we've seen in a few years. I saw a lot of big mule deer killed in the various hunting FB groups.
But also.... what were you expecting reports of? Rutting in Oct?
worry not. this will be the snowiest 3rd rifle (throughout the entire state) in several years.Yes, i was expecting a deer orgy in the middle of the highway.
I've hunted 2nd rifle before and you're right about it being tough. I was mainly concerned about snow not sticking around.
I hope you're right, because that's when my hunt starts too.Rut wont be til 11/20 for sure! Cause thats when my hunt starts.
