Deep snow and rut

[Fletch]

So in my opinion here in central NY the rut was pretty much just getting into gear when opening day then this storm hit. The pressure from opener obviously puts them more nocturnal to the extent their hormones allow. My question is what does 20-30 inches of snow do? I know they are not running all over. So if some does where hot and are now out with this 2+day blizzard do you think there will be an actual obvious second rut? Any input?

I wouldn't call it a second rut but I would think the heavy snow has slowed down the travel of all deer in the past couple days. I would think Thanksgiving day could be big with some hunters moving (although slowly and with some difficulty) and the deer needing to feed and the bucks looking to breed could be a big day.
