actually it will start just a liitle before Xmas(slow then)then pick up speed going into Jan/Feb.The colder the weather the more rut,you'll see.If it's a warm winter,most of it will be done at nite.

well in central, MS it usually starts with the primitive weapon season...I guess that would be the 2nd primative weapon season now :lol4:

Mid Dec in other words....NOW....since I see lots of fawns in Oct still I'd say the rut goes on for quite a long time....poor bucks...working hard out there!

Ya'll whack your fair share of doe meat so the boy's can rest some

wish I could go today..but way way too windy...its like a freaking hurricane at my house off and on

Im 30-40 miles from the coast I guess its a little later here but Ill be ready and waiting

Fret not I'd say you are 2 - 3 weeks behind us...U should be seeing some does being chased by now I would think

Good Luck...whack and stack

There's a nice chart showing peak ruts here...

This is not actually peak rut, but peak conception dates -- which are about two weeks after the peak of the rut. More details on this page where they explain the chart...
