Same discussion every year, same time every year, just like the rut.:D

I think the peak of the discussion about when the rut will occur will be the 3rd week of October:D

The later in Nov it's gotten, the worse it's gotten, that I've experienced in the years I've hunted. If it's warm, all bets are off. Weather in the 40s though, the first 10 days have always been the best with the most chasing coming between the 4-8. I hunted late last year and only saw 1.5s on their feet, 10-20th. I could have been too early, but who knows. I do know my work schedule changed and I've moved my dates from the 9-20th to the 3-14th. I always pay attention to what Alsheimer says, and he always seems to be right...

I wouldn't know what the rut is as I haven't seen shit for rut activity in 5-6 years. In fact, I haven't experienced a solid 2 weeks of good activity since the 2004 season. I'm convinced that I'm a black hole for rut activity.
