Hello Forum,

So now that the rut is over where have all the Mule's gone lol. I am seeing a shitload of does right now and no males. Any advice?

Usually in the thick stuff, some stay down low other bucks will head way back up to the high country to avoid predation.

If you have a few does that weren't bred and cycle again, a few bucks will show up. This next week can be productive.

I was rattling for white-tails a couple of days ago and a big 4 pt muley came in, so it's worth a shot.

Bucks were still chasing does and scrapping with each other in 5 last weekend. Though you could see the rut winding down in some of the groups of deer I saw. Saw quite a few 4 points, including one little 4 that kept popping up around camp with his small harem. Be real nice in a couple more years. I took this one, but we couldn't find a bigger one for my partner. And this was small to what he was looking for. His freezer full with Moose anyways, so better to let them grow bigger. :-)

The rut is still ongoing. It has just moved to the Female Appreciation thread.

Saw a monster beded in deep snow in a large clear cut, stuck out like a sore thumb, he had a harem of 9 does with him, he looked as though he was enjoying his fabulous existence. (Region 8)
