Sounds like your looking for a wall hanger since you mentioned the RUT? If that is the case I would focus on the last ten days of October if I were you. From my experience, I always harvest HUGE bucks during this time frame. When the RUT is in full swing, most big bucks are held up with does already. That is why you do not see many mature does at this time and younger bucks are running crazy while big daddy is busy. Typically the full rut starts in my area (Brown county) the second week of November and dwindles to post rut through gun season.
