How was the rut in the areas you hunt this year versus years past? I've heard from almost everyone that this seasons rut was abnormal and deer movement was different from previous years. Please keep it simple and as short as possible.

Madison county, AL.
Rut started early and trickled the rest of season and never saw some does split from fawns. Killed one late season that was still lactating. Very odd rut and deer movement this season.
Giles county, TN.
Rut never seemed to kick in like years past and deer movement was very odd and irratic. What rut I saw seemed to be a few weeks later than usual.
