OK, I'll tell ya...... Peak rutting dates for most of Wi and northern Ill..Nov, 17-23. It's a bell curve with the peak coinciding with the above dates.

RE: Peak rut times in your state.
 

You solved that, we carve it in stone, Nov. 17-23, no exceptions.

The peak of the rut by central WI falls the Second weekend of November almost every year. This year 3 rd weekend in November.

Here in Tx it is so big that it vary's as to where you are but here in East
Texas (Piney woods region) it is the last few days of Oct. and the first of Nov. This is the first of the heated action anyway.

RE: Peak rut times in your state.
 

Around here I would have to say around Nov. 15-22 is really close to the peak

RE: Peak rut times in your state.
 

It seems to vary each year(SD). Somewhere around 2nd week in Nov. is pretty close...

RE: Peak rut times in your state.
 

Here in my woods in Minnesota the rut seems to really get heated up from about November 6th through November 13th. The 6th of November has been by far my best day to be in the woods. I see more bucks on that date usually every year then any other date I can think of!

I sure did.:eek:

Sorry for being a bit coarse ( was drinking during the superbowl ), I should have explained further.

To me, the peak rut means the peak breeding days. This is entirely different from the seeking phase (Oct. 20th-Nov 6th) and the chasing phase ( Nov. 7th- 12th) and the tending/breeding phase (Nov. 13th-23rd). I also experience a short blip of rutting activity on Dec. 5th-10th and again Jan. 4th-7th.

These dates are approximate and may change by a few days from year to year.

Thats ok, I was just including it all in there. That way, we would not have to think to much an break it down. Did the right team win for you.

RE: Peak rut times in your state.
 

I would say the peak is the first week of Nov in my area in SE Pa.

RE: Peak rut times in your state.

IA-- I would say Nov 3-10 being the peak breeding time.

I will add this: gestation period is 200 days plus a day or two before actuall fertilization and I see most fawns appearing around May 20. Thats the only way you can tell when 'peak' breading is really occuring
