What causes whitetail deer rut?
Deer rut is mating season. Rut happens at the same time every year, autumn. Decreased day length, called photoperiod, and temperature trigger the change in the brain that leads to rut. This happens in the fall as the seasons heads toward the shortest day of the year in December. Does are in estrous, otherwise known as heat, in 17 to 22 day cycles. The cycle stops when a doe conceives. For bucks, the rut ends when daylength is very short. They've often lost a lot of weight and are exhausted from intense fighting with other bucks. The distraction of rut keeps bucks from eating enough to maintain their physical strength. Young bucks sometimes get to mate only when the mature bucks in prime health are exhausted. The bucks breed the does so they they can carry their young over the harder winter and be born during the pleantaful time of spring. This gives the young a better chance of survival.
