Rut Question

[considizzle]

When do you guys believe that the rut will be in full go. I have been seeing plenty of does but no bucks around. Just wondering what your guys thoughts might be.

Be in the woods 10/31 through 11/15. The pre-rut, it will be great. 11/15 through 11/22, lock down, a little slow. 11/22 through the end of the month be in a tree the big boys will be looking for those few not yet serviced.

I agree I love to hunt Nov-5 through about the 14 or 15, then off to IL for gun season and then back here the 23- Iowa gun season for some more bow action. Those dates have produced a lot of big deer.

This yr the shotgun doe days will appear, before ThanksGiving. What were those dates again? This may change things this NOV.
