I get their newsletter, looks like an awesome place. I would have to go with the pre-rut on that one. But, like others have said, there are so many factors besides rut, it's hard to say. We saw more bucks this year around the 20-31 of October than other times. I was all pumped up for the first part of Nov, but theweather was squirrelly and we didn't see a ton. I think with any real good preoperty though,you will see deer regardless!
