one thing that wasn't mentioned that does make a difference.


That is; leaves on the trees. Most of what he said I know to be true. And although leaves on the trees did not appear to me to change the timing of the rut it certainly seems to change the rate of responses to efforts to call one in.
Which in turn effects hunt success.

It would also have been nice if he had talked more about specific calls and sounds and the part each played in the rut and when and how each was used.

For example, I have never heard Moose call after mid October but they certainly do sometimes come to the right call, well into December. Key words being "the right call"

It was a good read and I did learn from it.
