Ill start it off.
It starts when the does go into estrus, driving every buck within a 5 mile radius crazy and they start cruzin the trails during daylight hours.


Is it Hunting Season Yet?

Our deer don’t rut. I’m convinced.

February the 11th. Used to be February 1st but the last series of continental drift disturbed the internal clocks of the does.


It be's that way sometimes.

Thanks for the reminder. When does the rut start in Macon County? Date and time would be appreciated and maybe a heat map showing the level of activity by date and area of the county would be great.

Down here it'll get going during Turkey Season.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

It's starting to pick up on my lease. Scrapes and fresh rubs just appear out of thin air one day usually around Christmas time..

I joined a club last minute in Barlow Bend at a great price two weeks ago. Anyone know when it’s peak rut around there? Any info is appreciated. Thanks and yes I’m serious..

In Hale county it’s the week before Christmas and they are always on Fire Christmas Day. They need to pu yellow spots on that corner of Hale, Marango and Perry county’s. Because that area ruts from Dec.16-31 then you might have an occasional cruiser.
