I read your prediction a few days ago, I’ve been wondering what you are basing your thinking off of? Facts about a common rut, or just a suspicion? Robinhedd Its just putting two and two together after years of first hand observations. I’m pretty sure I’ve got most of the underlying “dynamics” figured out for why things do what they do.......Key word most.....I dont pretend to have it all figured out.......yet.  I’ll say this from experience hunting the area. Your dotted line and solid are spot on from what I’ve personally witnessed. However, I know of two mature bucks that summered on the tract I hunt and both disappeared from the property just prior to the Bankhead rut. I, like you, assumed they went towards the Bankhead in search of early estrus does. However they were both killed ~ 2 miles from where I hunt in the complete opposite direction of the Bankhead. They went from a fairly rural and unpopulated area with plenty of food and cover and does, to a much more densely populated residential area. I know this is only a sample of 2 but it’s the only 2 mature bucks I know of that summered on the property and were killed > 1-mile from the property.
You're only as good as your worst shot-
