early in where in se pa i hunt bucks county

I'm in WMU 5-D, Mont & Delaware Co.You gotta luv unlimited antlerless tags. Oh yea, and the extra 4 weeks they give you to use them.

yea 5c man their are so many huge bucks this year most i ever seen

last year the peak rut in my area(york county,pa) was the second week of November and still going into rifle season after Thanksgiving

Here I would guess the last week of oct. but depending on weather it could be as late as the second week of nov

Pre Rutt, Always has been, always will be, Last week of Oct, First two weeks of Nov, give or take a few days.
The weather and moon phase just seems to make it more or less noticeable.
Thats just my 2 cents though!

The 26th is the first full moon which is when a lot of people believe everything starts to heat up

I know the weather really can throw it off. anything above 45 degrees will put a damper on the rut...last year it seemed later than usual.

Any idea when it starts in the Dirty South

The second full moon of the autumn equinox is Oct.25-26, native americans labeled it the"Rutting Moon". I trust them. I think something thatgets overlooked is the fact that almost two weeks later there is a new moon. The new moon nightandnightsshortly before and afterare very dark which(IMO) may affect /limit the deers night timemovement and when you add does in heatinto the equationIhope itleads toa significant spike indaytime activity (around those dates Nov. 6 - 13).
