When does the Rut usually get kicked off at Wheeler?

Depending on what part of Wheeler you hunt. But MTeague is correct for majority of Wheeler.

I have only sat a couple of times at Wheeler. I haven't seen any deer yet but there is sign everywhere so there are definitely deer.

Yeah I was mostly being sarcastic. There are deer there, I just have never had luck.

Saw three bucks together this morning at Wheeler. Two little ones and a decent 6 point. They are still in bachelor groups.

I'm still pretty new to public land hunting. Just trying to get an idea.

I have been several times and 80% of the time see some kind of deer. I also have seen lots of tracks and rubs. Just not seeing rutting yet either.

Are you guys hunting north or south?

I have only been twice this year, no luck either time. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Ok guys, good friend of mine killed a pretty good 7 point chasing does on Dec 22. So maybe they are getting started.

A large portion of Wheeler land is under water.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think that would make the remainder of the land great for some hunting? That is, if you can get to it. I know my usual spot is probably completely under right now.

I saw a group of deer today stranded in a section that I know is surrounded by water right now. About 4-5 ft of pretty swift water at that. The area is maybe 4-5 acres they are stuck on.

I'd be willing to bet that ALL of wheeler is under water right now. Sure would be a great time to hunt if your property was where the flood waters stopped...


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
