It was always fun talking to Ron back when I was excited about deer management and our club. He was interested because we had what we assumed to be the WI strain of deer like Waterloo. The rut was always around Christmas and I assume that was from mixing with the local genetics. Talking to the guys now it appears the rut has moved to the traditional timers 3rd week of January. During my 12 plus years in the club I could count on 1 hand how many mature bucks were killed during January. The whole place shutdown just like Waterloo did. Not no more though.
