The best time of the year for bow and crossbow hunters is upon us, but if you drive through deer country or run an insurance agency during the rut, you may not be smiling.
The rut is simply the whitetail deer’s mating season. While there are actually a couple times when bucks chase does in heat, the primary rut in our area starts around Nov. 1 and continues for a week or two. There is a secondary rut in December.
Now that it’s November, it feels like fall is finally here. The days and nights are colder, the leaves on the trees are thinning out, the garden produce is almost done, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
