Here in SE Minnesota we open our deer season on November 4th and can pretty much expect that bucks will be all over looking for action and the only thing that might really sway their thinking is heavy wind. I've tagged 95% of my bucks from the last 25 years during the day during this season and many of these animals were in serious rut behavior. The first couple days of the season will get hit pretty darned hard with drives and that keeps buck moving but even in mid-week after that opening weekend I shoot bucks in full daylight. Northern Missouri is what, maybe 500 miles? I'd think bucks there during the time you have listed should be about crazed.
