Sometime in november im sure. Its hard to tell tho it changes every year.

Usually the rut starts at the beginning of the month and runs for two weeks, but some years its early and some years its late. Do to the moon phase i would say the rut here in va will kick off and 6 to 10 days and run for about 2 weeks. Ive been hunting a lot and there not rutting yet, seems to me that will change shortly.

the rut is almost in here in SW virginia. Have seen plenty of rut action in the deer woods. Last year the rut came in right before Nov. 3 (opening day of M/L last year) because the weather was much colder. I and many other people are expecting it to be in full swing next week.

Pm me if you'd like to talk
