Great time to be up here. Prime rut is usually Oct 31-Nov 10 in WI.The it starts to slow down a bit then picks back up again Mid Nov depending on weather. We have had some pretty mild deer seasons lately so the deer dont really seem to want to move till dark when it cools off. But this year im predicting the odds should be in your favor for bagging a nice Wi buck if you play your cards just right. Good luck, im thinking its going to be a great year!
