    Every area is different do some searching around on the internet and look for rut predictions, everyone has their own "special" days for their own reasons typically I like end of October through November, But to each there own.

    Around here, you better be in the woods between Nov 7th-10th. They are primetime!

    Anytime from about the last week of October through second week of November is going to be hot. For me, while its awesome to have bucks chasing does everywhere, its usually not my most productive. That last week of October leading to Halloween, if the temps are cold enough, is my favorite. Bucks are on their feet cruising, still acting "normal" and not running 100mph by you after a doe. When they're chasing, its almost impossible to pull them off a doe and you're only hope is to get the doe to you.
