I've had great luck the last week of Oct,through early Nov.Good luck this year!

Good luck predicting rut ... even following the new moon theory ..... the rut is still subject to hunter pressure, temperature,I usually take the first 2 weeks off in November because of cooler weather and deer movement .Peek breeding makes for a long day in the stand unless you have "the" hot doe on the mountain under your stand.I much prefer to hunt the seek and chase part of the rut . good deer movements and bucks searching and frustrated makes for some pretty intense moments in the field.Charly Alsheimers book is pretty accurate and he puts on a heck of a seminar i would recommend to anybody.

You can't go wrong with the first week of Nov

Get in the woods and put one through the pump station! Good Luck this season everybody.

I'll second that.

With a little proper scouting, you could pattern a deer well prior to the rut! Once the rut hits then it all goes hay-wire(here today & gone tomorrow). I always like to do a bit of non-invasive hunting during Oct. to note habitat changes, food sources, rublines,scrapelines,Etc. I personally don't believe in just jumping in a stand once the rut heats up. That's kinda lazy. I observe/learn something on every outing into the hunting grounds. While the bucks may throw a certain level of caution to the wind during the rut, one must remember that they didn't grow to do be dominant bucks by accident. My view on the topic is: Whenever you can!! Enjoy your hunts!! Try not to focus on killing, but rather on being observant/woodswise! Good Luck Bowhunting Folks! IT'S AWESOME!!!

I follow Charlie Alsheimers book for the most part and i am on vacation starting this week for 2 weeks total....Another helpful hint is during the full moon .... i hunt from 10 am till 2 and last light.
