agross Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Great no one else is going to be in the woods that weekend. More deer for me. (joke.

nybuckboy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 full moon Oct 29th and yeas I have tagged out on Oct 31 one year and also on Nov 3 another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckstopshere Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 He's right this year...the first week of November is going to be rockin'! But this year...since we have an Oct. 1 opener...what about the early rut...? You know...that first rut spike when a few does become receptive? I think that first week of October...in just a few weeks is going to be surprising with rut action...I think the Youth Hunt is timed just right for some kids to catch some whopper bucks with their girl friends! I bet there are going to be some amazing photos of kids with tankers...and that will be the greatest sell to other kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah the kids should have a great time being able to go one weekend a year with old pops. I got to go every day he went. My dad loved me LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet old bill Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That seems to be the best 10 days to be in the woods, the last week of Oct and the first week of Nov... I have taken 3 deer on Nov 1 to the 5 over the years, and several the last week of Oct...I love the chase period the doe's are not ready and the buck are like 21 year old male on Friday night after drinking and dancing with the women....

First-light Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Going to be up that weekend also. It will be special because the kid I mentored will be there with his Dad. It may be a long time before he gets back to hunt, he is joining the Marines early next year. A 17 year old Patriot, he can't wait! What a wonderful kid............

Thanks I've mentioned over the years about this and ppl look at me like I'm a rooky...lol For years I've watched rutting in the field next door in late Sept early Oct...that's why I was so very glad to see the Oct 1 opener...and it's even more intense at camp in Alfred...don't know why but is...

MuzzyLoader Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yup... ALPHA rut should be right after Oct 1st. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kot2B Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Last years rut was a bit later around here but I got a nice small basket 6 on Nov 6, so hopefully it holds true. I have some time in early October so I am hoping for a little earlier action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) The deer have returned to the field....no liquid manure trucks yet...can't wait to see what happens the next few days...8 deer last nite..I think not sure 2 bucks...pretty dark and far away...this a.m. 5 running through the rain headed for out woods two huge doe and 3 big fawn...Raining nice and gentle since 4a.m..Though the wind gusts are a tad wild Edited September 18, 2012 by growalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
