With all this cold weather to date, will the transitions occur earlier this year compared to last year? The month of October last year saw 80's for highs most of the month with lows in the 50-60's. This year it's been 60/40's for the better part of the month with cold weather projected over the next 10 days. The deer are absolutely hammering my wheat field and I'm feeling the 09' rut will be early this year...

The rut last season was way late in this part of country. Due to the warm temperatures like you mentioned. All of this cool October weather we have had should have the rut hitting right on time this season. First week of November should be the time to be in the woods my friends. I'll hopefully be out there with my stick and string then.
