Here the NR season ends November 15th....its usually around the 8th or 10th that the chase phase really kicks in. By the time things are in really high gear here, I can't hunt anymore.

GregH,
While ive been hunting up here in Wi I admit have not seen them breeding.
But when I lived in IL on Temple's land I always seen them breeding like crazy just right around Halloween. I was never able to hunt there but they allowed me to pretty much go where I wanted.
As for most activity usually last week of Oct and First week of Nov
here in K area.

Remember, the breeding cycle is a bell curve. The older does seem to come into esterus first and then it ramps up into a full scale breeding period with all the prime age does. Then it trickles down and finishes off with the breeding of the fawns. Especially the early born fawns from the older does.
The most activity is not the peak of the breeding. That's the phase (pre-breeding) that leads to the peak breeding period.
