November rut?

[TrapperJ]

Hey guys it's my first time hunting November bucks and I believe the rut is going? Just kinda wondering when it really picks up and bucks start chasing does. Of course it depends on the state and time of year and everything but I'm just wondering when I could expect to hear deer running or see some even

Cranking up in WY now. Been seeing bu ks on the move and coming in to rattling since Friday. Starting to follow does now

Judging from the three bucks chasing a doe across my front yard 15 minutes ago, I would say the time is now in my area.

Lines up with my nerdy data at least. Saturday should be great for us here...lol

Same, I got a 15 min video of a buck that was glued to a doe a week ago. She wasn't into him at all. Fun to watch.

 

[NEWHunter]

Pretty well over here in WI

 

[TrapperJ]

Hmm interesting I've done some calling here Recently today and I gotta say I am noticing some activity just I'm not sure if the grunt call is the best but so far I've had a spike respond back and I've heard a doe aswell so hopefully maybe a good 8pt will appear sometime

Julian date. Awesome.

Try rattling and a doe estrous can. They might come in quiet so be watchful.

Doe can huh? I'm gonna try that tomorrow thanks how often do you recommend? Also I don't have rattles and I only have 1 antler shed can I do anything with it?

 

[grizzly63]

1-3 times wait ten minutes, 3 times in a location, never seen this scare a deer.

judging by my cameras, many of the bucks have locked down with does the last few days, after chasing hard the last half of last week. Does have still been moving like crazy though. We'll get them all moving on Saturday morning when we put 15 or so of us in the woods and drive them.

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Just driving back from the taxidermist here in Billings about 100 yards in front of us. You see a doe go flying across the road then you see another doe come up in the road a truck stops and the doe runs back in the brush and then we slowly drive forward and seen big Whitetail buck hook and run back into the brush, he was breathing heavy i could see his breath cloud in the crisp morning air , It’s on with the townies!!!!

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

So two more bucks since I made that post on the way back to the house ! Ha ha we got a lot of whitetails running around this end of town

 

[TrapperJ]

Well folks update on how the rut is going in southwest Missouri. It's absolutely nothing but wind I swear nothing but 30 mph wind all day but I did see a small spike but I didn't shoot it so guess I'll try tomorrow
