Antelope Rut??

[Whitehorn]

When do you think the peak of the antelope rut is? Early, middle or late September? Or if you have a few dates that would help a great deal..

We only have 3 days to do an archery hunt in SE Alberta and trying our best to overlap the peak rut.. Any advice even for your area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago we went out to western South Dakota during the first week of Oct. They were in full rut at that time. I'd go with late Sept.

I outfit in South Dakota and the best time to use a decoy in the rut would be the middle of September.

i would like to add to this question, does anybody know anything about the kansas area, rut or any information. i will be going out west to scout for 2 days 2 weeks from nowwith a plat map to try to find some land to hunt. i read yesterday on the kansas fish and game website that they are trying to lease out more antelope ground for walk in hunting, i think in Prat co.

In the eastern part of Colo. where I archery hunt antelope, the rut really doesn't get going until about the 1st of Oct. and is in full swing during rifle season which is in the middle of Oct.
