How will this warm weather affect deer movement during rut?

I hunt in Wilkinson County in MS, and supposedly the rut is supposed to start right after Christmas. Taking a look at the forecast, it is still going to be pretty warm. In the OB's expert opinion, how much will that suck for me and others hunting that area, looking for a big buck to pop? Will the warm weather drastically slow their movement during shooting hours? TIA for your opinions.....

Deer will rut when it's time. Cold weather may help a little but does in heat is what triggers the rut.

New Year's looks promising for North Louisiana.

It doesn't matter if the weather's hot as long as the doe's are too

I've killed mature bucks chasing does in short sleeve shirts before if that answers your question.

I don't think as many bucks will be seen up cruising. Cold weather gets deer up and feeding. Without that the bucks won't be out looking around as much. When a doe gets hot a buck will find her but with the warm weather the chances of him finding her in your foodplot during the day decrease

Makes sense
