Preparing for "The Rut"

As we move into the Fall the shortening daylight triggers a testosterone surge in whitetail bucks and the start of their annual mating season, known as the rut.
Several years ago I installed an old cast iron bathtub in a wooded area as watering hole for wildlife. This buck decided to take a bath and clean up to win access to does. First, check the water in the tub ...
Two feet in the tub ...
Three feet in the tub ...
Take a dip in the tub ...
Bath time is over. Let the rut begin.
