Stuck in a Rut

Right now, white tailed deer hunters all over the state are talking about the deer "rut."

To you and me, the word "rut," might mean we’re stuck in a boring routine or that a car’s wheel is stuck in a worn area of the ground.  But in naturalist and hunting circles, the rut means something altogether different.

W. Brooks Paternotte took the helm of Irvine Nature Center as executive director in July 2013 and immediately began building on the strong 35-year foundation. Brooks is a Baltimore native who was a teacher, coach, advisor, dean and Head of the Middle School during his 13 years at Boys’ Latin School in Baltimore. He is also an instructor and ambassador of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and is a Leave No Trace Master, as well as an avid outdoorsman and a features writer for FlyLife Magazine.
