I have a late Palouse tag and will be hunting the Davenport area. Season runs the 10th-19th. In the past I have had more whitetail rut success closer towards the 19th vs. the 10th. This was primarily in the Clearwater country of Idaho and some in Colville. I am planning on taking 4-5 days and doing it all at once or break it into 2 seperate hunts at the beginning and the end. Any locals have thoughts as to when the peak 3-4 days might be? thanks, B.T.

last year when i was up there the rut was definetly toward the end of the season. hope this helps.

The whitetail rut peaks right at the end of the season! ;)
Good luck, that's a fun hunt.

I watched a good whitetail buck chasing doe ass a little tonight. Nothin real serious but he was thinkin about it

I havent seen any whitetail pre-rut action yet. The whitetail rut will peak well after the 19th but you should have some serious pre-rut action starting around the 8th.

had the tag last year all the rut action started at the end of the season i shot my buck on the 13th and they were just starting to mix it up my bucks neck was swelled a little and he was starting to get a little stinky good luck

:yeah: from what I've seen being over there the past few years the end of that hunt should be the peak of the rut. I'll be over there helping a family friend and can't wait.

In your case, the later the better. The 19th is typically the beginning of the peak.
