Well pardon me for trying to start a conversation.
in all species it's the female that dictates rutting behaviour the male does not have a great deal of say in the matter.
The rut is a fantastic time to be out watching whats around your area and the sights and sounds at that time of year are priceless.While I don't shoot many bucks in the Rut I do spend a lot of time out and about.
Well I say "Let it End" as well! Shooting good Roe Buck with their guard down is hardly 'sporting'. Their body weights are down and the meat is far from best. Unless you absolutely need to cull them for true management reasons, why not leave them alone at such an important time of their year? I honestly don't see why people get excited about it, other than poor stalkers who's only chance to get onto a decent Roe is when they are most vulnerable? Shooting decent bucks during the rut is awful practice!
