In SE. OH. our best days for mature buck sightings and harvest's have been Nov. 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Cleveland the frost, weather, temp, moon phase etc. has nothing to do with the timing of the rut. The amount of light in the day triggers the doe's to come into estrous and they will come into estrous every year with in a day or two of when they came into estrous the year before and the year before that.
