According to pressconnects.com: "Contrary to popular opinion, the rut is not influenced by moon phase, weather changes or planetary alignments. Photoperiod (amount of daylight each day) is what triggers females to come into estrus, and the does dictate rutting activity. Bucks are ready as soon as their antlers shed the velvet in September, but the girls come into estrus later." - Which means we were actually incorrect during the podcast about what causes the rut to start. Estrus in does is actually triggered by the change in daylight and not by cold weather. The cold weather just happens to line up with the changing amounts of daylight pretty often.
Thanks for listening and happy hunting.
Recorded October 21st and 26th, 2022 - Williston, ND
