Laroche and Alshiemer's formula is the one I use. I've been following them for the last few years.
The things that cross people up the most are weather and lockdown. Early ruts seem to be the worst sometimes going from fever pitch one day to complete graveyard in 24 hrs. I prefer late ruts like last year.
