End of October to the first two weeks in November is the rut.

Look like a bow hunter shown time now i m pump Thx

*every day* is the best day

From what I've seen - trail cam and personal observations...if you have a local buck you've been watching, you need to get him before about Oct 25th or so - then the bucks change their routines and you won't find him where he has been the last two months, but you may/will see other bucks you've never seen before.

The real rut - when bucks start running the bush and being careless is (many other pointed this out) the second week in November - MP's 15th-18th would be a pretty good guess if you wanted it narrowed down to a few days. ...and the peak doesn't change year to year, although weather (hot/cold) may make it more/less dramatic

Charlie Alsheimer and Wayne Laroche theory of moon based run has been refuted by just about everyone else in the deer research field. Until Alsheimer came up with this (which is IMO just another way for a writer to make a few bucks - he is not a researcher, he is a photographer who got into writing - Laroche is a researcher he uses to give his theory some credibility), I thought a lot of him - not so much now.

That was a pretty cool video!!

The Laroche/Alsheimer theory - makes for some interesting reading - but I don't buy it.

Well that's comforting to know...at least I'm not alone in my discounting the 'moon' theories :)

In my younger days, we used to believe that a new moon was better for hunting than a full moon because the deer moved less in the dark night, and would move more in the daylight. That whole theory discounts the fact that deer's vision is pretty much the same on darkest nights, full moon, or daylight. Ooops.
