When do you think the peak of the antelope rut is? Early, middle or late September? Or if you have a few dates that would help a great deal..

We only have 3 days to do an archery hunt in SE Alberta and trying our best to overlap the peak rut.. Any advice even for your area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago we went out to western South Dakota during the first week of Oct. They were in full rut at that time. I'd go with late Sept.

I outfit in South Dakota and the best time to use a decoy in the rut would be the middle of September.

i would like to add to this question, does anybody know anything about the kansas area, rut or any information. i will be going out west to scout for 2 days 2 weeks from nowwith a plat map to try to find some land to hunt. i read yesterday on the kansas fish and game website that they are trying to lease out more antelope ground for walk in hunting, i think in Prat co.

In the eastern part of Colo. where I archery hunt antelope, the rut really doesn't get going until about the 1st of Oct. and is in full swing during rifle season which is in the middle of Oct.

Thanks for the replies..

Cheers.
