For the people who hunt/live in the area, about what time will the rut take place? I just got on a lease there and I just have now idea about the time it starts, plus it would be good to know so I can plan on feeding cotton seed and double up on the protein at the end of it to help the deer recover.

You should know this..
10 years worth for me...
11/11 is a date I have written down for the most rutting activity seen multiple times in my journal. We have been taking the week off before Thanksgiving the past several years and see a lot of strong movement. It pushes through into Thanksgiving... and after that the major activity is pretty spotty. That period of 11/10-11/20 my rut field is load with deer chasing each other....and the does can't get a bite of corn to save their life. You gotta be quick on your toes with a bow then.
I started cottonseed the last weekend of season this year before I left. I am still hunting so they can start recovering after I'm done. Don't need any of them eating only at night during season...Last edited by Smart; 08-08-2018, 03:53 PM.
