Eastern Wa Whitetail rut timing..........?
« on: November 05, 2019, 07:42:36 PM »
So, I'm a total Whitetail novice.

Anybody care to share when they think the peak of the NE Whitetail rut typically is?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what unit and how far North you are.

Excellent.

Looks like I might have the 17th-19th available.

I'm a complete Whitetail noob, but I have access to some land that I think is pretty good.

the more northern units the peak of the rut is a full week sooner than units more south. I have seen the rut peak around the 15-19th up in 101,204 and in the 124,127 is usually Nov 20-25th

I can say there is a very good reason the season closes on the 19th every year........if they kept it open later a lot more bucks would be killed.

Rut , some years, is just barely rolling by the end of season, the 19th.  Ridgerunner is correct. Season used to go the the 22nd. It's not a mystery why it came back to the 19th.

Agreed with this. Those last few days of late rifle the rut is usually ramping up. First few days of late archery is about peak from my experience

I don't know when it will a actually start, but small bunch near me on very private, no hunting area are showing no signs of the rut yet. Couple of smaller bucks and 8 does and fawns. Not seeing any others around doing any sniffing around either. Maybe towards the latter part of the hunt they'll show a little interest.  Seemed to me last year it was closer to the 1st of December before they got really active.Mule deer we're more towards the end of December.

 :yeah: I cant speak to units 124 & 127 but that's pretty spot on for 101 & 204.
