Our rule on the farm we lease over in NJ is to not shoot the Bigger Mature Doe. Let them alone til latter in the season ,Jan/Feb. We think the Bigger Bucks seek them out more during the RUT. I was checking out Charles A rut chart and it looks like Nov 5th til Nov 14th will be the hot time this year. It really don't matter one way or the other. I am in the woods Last week of Oct and the first weeks of Nov anyway. Still like to Checkout his predictions anyway. He says the Rut this year will be better than last year. Last year was more spread out and sporadic due to the latter 2nd Full Moon. Best time to be in the woods!! Oct/Nov !!! Hands DOWN!!! Can't wait and I sure hope the weather turns COLD!!!!!
