The Ohio rut seemed to be relatively typical. There were a lot of young bucks cruising and chasing early and then I saw 2 good mature bucks on 11/17/03. Most of the breeding here in Ohio typically occurs between 11/10 - 11/20 so it was right on track here I would say. I am not a biologist or an expert, but my observations seemed to indicate the rut here was typical.
