RE: THE RUT IN EAST TEXAS
my guess its like the rest of texas......varies from county to county. I dont hunt in east texas anymore but in central texas on our farm the rut is first week of november normally...45 miles away on another property we hunt they rut after thankgiving. A guy on my website that hunts in south texas says his rut is last week of October....still some places are late december. Sorry I couldnt give you a positive answer but truth is...there isnt one. If you know when you start seeing newborn fawns, subtract 6 months from that. ie: mid-May drop = mid november rut. good luck
