Same holds true for rut. Appears here in VT the deer rut is later and they should look at adjusting hunting seasons because of it.
1st week of October archery season is a joke with summer like conditions...November firearm season seems to me is off by at least 2 weeks with peak rut in recent years.
Don't get me started on early ice, just seems the last decade it's hard to find early ice in late November/early December, last year earliest safe ice was on inland ponds around Christmas.
