Thread: Fallow in the Waikato - Rut timing?

Afew things have conspired to make it a hit and miss rut this year in the area. Heaps of feed makes me suspect the does have cycled early which is backed up by observations of plenty of does without Bucks. An early full moon and its exceedingly warm with a warm rainy week right at the peak of the rut. There has been sporadic Craoking but what im seeing is a general lack of interest in the rut pads and random action that starts up then stops again almost immediately.
