Many wildlife biologists agree that the diminishing ratio of daylight to darkness is the primary factor in triggering the rut.

These shorter days induce hormone-level changes in both bucks and does. Because daylight hours diminish more rapidly in northern latitudes, rutting activity is generally more concentrated in the northern part of the whitetail’s range.

Elliot Lake’s ATV,hunting and angling opportunities
This fall I spent a few days in Elliot Lake with outdoor guide Marty Descoteaux of Elliot Lake Outfitters while doing a destination article for Ontario Out of Doors magazine.
We fished, hunted and travelled by ATV over three days in absolutely splendid fall weather, The leaves were brilliant, this time the bugs didn’t bite but the fish sure were biting.
Northern grouse were easy pickings if you knew where to look. Marty did!
