Anybody have guess on rut peak around gatesville area? Thanksgiving roughly??

I hunt a place in Lampasas.. I'll be interested to see the responses. I'd agree with around Thanksgiving timeframe. Give or take a little time either way

In bell and milam last year it was the 17th to 20th.

We're in Brown county and it's usually around thanksgiving. My dad saw a couple real young bucks sniffing around some does this past weekend, so maybe it'll come on strong in the next couple weeks.

Within 3 days of when it happened last year, and the year before. Rut doesn't move more than that anywhere ya go.

Pick your area. Here is the Pineywoods chart.

In Mills County they were already starting to chase last weekend. Should be cranking up full blast any time now. Thanksgiving is usually the tail end which can be good because you get the big boys out crusing for the last available does. Our biggest bucks have traditionally been killed the weekend before Thansksgiving.

Great data from TPWD.

Had a young buck come to where a doe peed probably 20 minutes after she left here in Milam county that was yesterday mornin.

Big bucks not chasing yet, but with the cold front coming Sunday, I think it will happen from about the 11th to the 30th of November, and then again around Christmas. JMO. This is in Mills county.

Look TPW and look for rut prediction. I think it's around the 16th fit the peak.
