According to Deer and Deer Hunting on NbcSports network (old Versus network) the Rut will kick in this year between October 31-November 7th.
They claim after 16 years of study that this year will be a synchronized rut. definition of a synchro rut is the time when the bucks and doe start producing testosterone and hormones which is typically around Oct-25 -Nov 1. When that aligns with a full moon which we will see on Oct 29 they claims the rut will explode 3 days after. They said if you can hunt between Oct 31 and Nov 6th that will be the best time.
After that, they claim bucks will bed down and breed between Nov 7-10.
Typically we have a classic rut which falls later in Nov they claim.
Interesting show...makes sense but I have no clue really. I hope I get a chance then at a good buck with my bow.
