[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 876705, member: 39547"] The rut in Ky is a mystery to everyone I know. I've tried for years and years to pattern it out and can't seem to make much sense of it. It depends on the weather that year and the area you're hunting. Most of my hunting has been in Anderson and Washington county and seems there are more than one each yr. There will be a few bucks chasing first part of oct, same mid nov and again mid to late dec. I read an article a while back that said since deer had been brought in from all over the country to re-stock from the slaughter in the mid 1800's the deer go into the rut at different times. From what my buddies and I have gathered over the years there seems to be some truth to it. Until I join the military I ran feeders and trail cams on several different farms in the counties mentioned above. Spent every bit of my free time in a stand with a bow and whatever else was legal, from opening wkend in sept until close in jan. All the pics and time I've spent support multiple ruts or at least hot and cold times of does. Most of the areas I hunting I had sole permission on so hunting pressure wasn't really an issue. I made sure to move around every time I killed on and play the wind as best I could. I honestly believe that does will come in heat from sept to jan just depending on the area and the deer population in the immediate area. I've seen bucks running does, had pics of it at all the times mentioned above, usually the colder it gets the more I saw it. [/QUOTE]
