Well, let’s start with some truth. The rut happens the same time every year because it has to - especially throughout much of the range where whitetails live and actual seasons (like winter) happen. Fawns need to hit the ground at the right time in the late-spring, otherwise they don’t do so well. Mother Nature knows this, and so forget about an ea...

Oct 16, 2023 · The moon’s 19-year pattern is termed by astronomers as the Metonic cycle, which is much easier to pronounce or spell than Enneadecaeteris. And for deer hunters, missing what was called in the old days, “the running time” by a week or so can mean the difference between unforgettable memories vs. boring sits in the deer woods.
