For those of you who know Charles Alscheimer (Deer and Deer Hunting magazine)....he has been predicting rutting activity in the North and South for over 30 years now....I have been keeping tabs on his predicitions in my area of the country....(SW Ohio and SE Indiana). In my opinion, his predictions have been dead on.....Now with that being said.....he gives a "window" of days.....his predictions for this year is that the best 9 days to hunt in the North is 11/10-11/18....he says that the seeking/chasing activity will increase dramatically 2-3 days before the 10th....again....some believe in this and others do not....I for one gauge my vacation days based upon his comments!!
