When is whitetail rut in the peak during November?
« on: October 24, 2012, 03:07:59 PM »
I have heard conflicting dates in November that the rut is most consistant.  Anyone have actual first hand knowledge?

All things being equal i would be ini the whitetail woods the week of the 10th-17th, give or take a day or two..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Week of Thanksgiving. Some years kicks off earlier, maybe the 15th-ish, but usually closer to the 20th on.

Bucks were paired up with does where I hunt 17th-18th last year.

I agree. I hunt 101 and 204.  The last couple years i would put the absolute peak at Nov 20-23.
