RE: Ohio rut?
Usually comes in a few days into November say the 5th -17th time frame. So much depends on weather though that it's really hard to say for sure. Last year in SE Ohio where I hunt, Guernsey county, we really didn't witness much of a rut at all in our area. The weather was real inconsistent last year and seemed like every weekend was windy. I shot my buck last year OCT. 31 and he was dogging a doe so ya never know. Two years ago in our area it came in around the middle of the second week of November and we saw tons of activity.
