I am no moon expert. However, it is widely researched that the 2nd full moon after the autumn equinox typically triggers the rut. That means the November full moon which is not until 11/19 would trigger the rut. I suspect the October full moon will get the bucks pumped up and into pre-rut activity, but the majority of the doe are not expected to come into estrus until mid to late November. My approach this fall will be to hit it hard in late October and stay with it through the end of November. My Oct hunts will target core areas and places with thick cover that show sign. My November hunts will target funnel areas and high odds travel routes between bedding areas. Late November look for the doe and their primary feeding area. Good luck to all!
