I would say peak rut is pretty much the week of Thanksgiving. Your looking at mature bucks dressing out 125-140lbs on average. There are a good number of deer in the area. Don't be suprised to see 140+ class deer. (That number would not be an average). I would think you would be able to walk or use an atv to get just about anywhere you needed to go out there. watch out for rattlesnakes and good luck
