No one really knows. Its funny I was just thinking of my hunting today. I hunt the first 12 - 14 days of season. I will quit sooner if I kill a buck. Then come Jan. I will start back. Not the way I have it planned but from passed experience I will start back on my northern most property and end my season on my southern most property. Didn't even realize I was doing this until today when I thought about it. I was just going on past experience when I found the rut usually happening on certain properties.
