7 days straight rut has to be coming soon hopeing the end of this moon phase will be today or tomarrow deer still not moving

today i decided to sleep in hang with my wife and boys jake 1 yr and mason 3 yr and make a nice breakfast of fresh eggs from the backyard

went out at 1130 to send mason off to pre-k and saw some deer moving around so i decided to run in and get dressed and sit till i got too cold which ended up being 330 no deer movement at all...
