I own a small piece of land but I feed year round and pull a lot of deer off of other property’s. I’ve got a lot of deer hanging on my property and over the years the does have over populated it and all the bucks I had living on it have moved to other places only to be seen here and there instead of all the time. By the first of January the few bucks I have left go to neighboring properties to be with a doe instead of a lot of does. The bucks will chase and breed does from January 1 until there horns fall off the first part of April. To me there is no rut on my property anymore. Back when my numbers were in check the rut was intense but now you rarely see any rut activity. When my numbers were in check there was always bucks living on my property and you would see just as many bucks as you do does but now it’s not like that. I plan on taking some kids or people in need of meat to shoot several off my property this year especially the ones that don’t breed and all they do is eat every year then they get a ticket to the processor
Same thing happened at the house.
