Clayton Rut

New this year to hunting Clayton area in Barbour. Any experts on what the rut might look like?

First couple weeks of Jan seems to be the standard I'm hearing. Any other advise?

January 20th give or take 2 days

Ditto teagues answer...

There are 3 different ruts within just a couple miles of clayton. all late season.

Yep.... it will be the last 2-3 weeks of deer season.

MLK day should be the start of the rut.

Here's the deal, Jan 12 to 20th

Ain't no deer there. Come over to Dallas County and hunt with us.

Ain't no deer in Dallas County either...

I know because u dun killed all of em. Lol

I had some help...

Louisville area is Jan 27-and beyond. GW in that area says either side of 15th, but I have never seen any evidence of real chasing/ bucks locked down with does that early. Been that way since the 80's. Given the population we have in our area, we never see a real rut anyway- too many does. Maybe in a place in Barbour co where the ratio is much tighter, things are different.
I killed a wide racked, 215 pd deer last year on Jan 24th following a doe @ 6:20 am. Only time I saw anything slightly resembling rut/mating behavior on our place... and I hunted hard rest of season.

I hunted in Barbour county for about 15 years, mainly north and west of Clayton. They had had a lot of different deer stocked and the mingling of genetics had them rutting all the dang time.
