Pre Rut?

What time is considered the pre rut?
I know the rut starts here around the end of Oct or beginning of November.
The reason I ask is because I have never tried rattling or scents and would like to when appropriate.
I hunt some woods that have a very large buck in them but very little pressure from other hunters.
Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: Pre Rut?

So do ya'll think it would be too much to put out some dominant buck scent around my stand and do some rattling tomorrow?
I'm in a tree btw...
