I've not seen the "typical" whitetail rut in years on our property. Rarely do I see a buck chasing a doe and I never see a doe come in with a buck following...yet we have good fawn crops each year...so they're breeding...it's just not the rut I'm familiar with. I hunt about 45 miles southwest of Kerrville. We usually shoot all of our older does early so we don't risk shooting a bred doe later in the season. Other than that is there any reason we're not seeing the "usual" rut? I have a question I hope you can help me out with. I’ve not seen the “typical” whitetail rut in years on our property.

The peak of the rut is usually captured during that time, but bucks will continue to pursue unbred does until they are all bred. You should be up there right now!
