[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5929340, member: 20583"] I tend to see rut activity not so much like a singular event or time frame, but rather waves that come all season long, peaking in intensity around Thanksgiving. One of my better TN bucks was killed October 10th as he was hounding a doe, grunting every step like a snorting pig. While that's not typical activity for that time of year, it's not uncommon. On the same coin I have sat many a November days and hardly seen a deer, let alone a rutting buck. Again not typical but not abnormal. In my experience you'll see rutting activity when you're hunting close proximity to an estrus doe. It's just that simple. If you're not around an estrus doe then you're not likely to see a rut crazed buck acting a fool. Find when most fawns drop in your area, count back 201 days, and that's when peak breeding occurs. But each side of that peak are still plenty other does cycling that will have bucks acting like fools if you're in the woods to see it. [/QUOTE]
