11/6 deer hunt

[IceColdEric]

Everyone has their opinions about the rut and how it works...I believe the full moon at the end of October was going to pull the rut forward a few days, and it still may pull it forward slightly, but the weather has thrown a kink in everyone's craw, so now I believe the best week for most of the northern zone will be next week, from around the 7th-15th...Southern zone should be around the 15th-25th...

Agree with this! When the rain pulls out and the cold snap rolls in I'm thinking that is going to do the trick for rut!

Anyone out this afternoon? I've heard several gunts and a lots of movement in the thicket. Nothing stepped out yet.

Agree.....especially places with harsher winters and breed timing is crucial. In the south I believe other factors do come into play considering the rut can sometimes vary by 6 weeks from year to year.

First two weeks in November has always been my favorite time to hunt. Whenever most hunters see a buck on a given day with his nose in the air! ITS PEAK RUT! Just depends on who you talk to.

Unbred does go into estrous 30 days later. Some come into estrous 30 days prior. Due to the sex ratio, Georgia really doesn't have a rut like some places.

Correct! Their is a pre rut, rut, and post rut. Each cycle being 30 days,in the many years that I have hunted Georgia, I have found two things that happen.. Rut is kicked in by Temps dropping, also found most times Mid Ga. rut is the week before Thanksgiving, or the week of Thanksgiving...
