PEAK RUT DATES. Since we launched Deer Feeding Chart in 2011, we have had over one million Deer Feeding Chart searches by Zip Code from deer hunters across the United States. Our hypotheses is that this data can be useful to help you pinpoint the whitetail rut in your area and determine peak hunting weeks. We have grouped each historical Deer ...
Nov 24, 2023 · The first of which is timing. While the northern half of the United States sees a largely well-defined November rut, the southern half experiences a rut that can occur sometime between July and February. “This dividing line roughly runs along from northern Oklahoma across to North Carolina,” says Brian Murphy, a wildlife biologist with ...

Let’s dive into this info-packed resource. The Whitetail Rut Map includes data from 4,240 counties, parishes, districts, or other geographic designations in 43 states. For the remainder of this feature the term “county” will be used collectively to represent all geographic designations. The map represents approximately 98 percent of the whitetail’s...
biologists, or fawn parturition data (where you can backdate to birth date), were used. All data were reviewed and standardized by HuntStand Wildlife Biologist Brian Murphy, a nationally respected whitetail expert. Murphy has more than 35 years of experience researching and managing white-tailed deer. Data was compiled and mapped by HuntStand Data ...
Both the earliest (7/22) and latest (2/17) rut starting dates were observed in Florida. Florida holds the distinction of being the only state in which a whitetail rut occurs in nine consecutive calendar months from July to March. In addition, it’s the only state in which you can hunt the rut in July, August, September, or March. The undisputed late...
Texas is home to a very unique rutting pattern. The Texas rut moves in a counterclockwise pattern starting with the earliest rut in southeast Texas, near Corpus Christi. It then moves north through east Texas, and across the northern and western portions of the state. Eventually it circles back to south Texas for the latest dates, just a few counti...
What appears to an anomaly, or possible data error, exists along the border between Georgia and Alabama. This is where the rut dates on either side of the state border vary by up to two months. These dates were investigated in detail with the deer biologists in these states. Following careful review of the data, it was agreed the most-likely explan...
Given that the overall rut occurs over a 210-day period, this offered a convenient way to separate the overall rut into three 70-day periods defined as Early Rut, Traditional Rut, and Late Rut (see table below). This analysis revealed that 3 percent of counties experience an Early Rut, 79 percent a Traditional Rut and 7 percent a Late Rut. Interest...
It should be noted that this map represents peak conception dates, which does not necessarily mean when bucks are most active. Many hunters realize that buck movement during the peak of breeding can range widely. Things range from periods of intense movement, to the quiet or “lock-down” phase. This is when bucks are tending receptive does in heavy ...
The data from this map can be used to estimate both “second rut” and “fawn drop” dates in any county. To estimate timing of the second rut, simply add 28-30 days to the beginning of the peak rut. To estimate peak fawning dates, add 195-200 days to the beginning of the peak rut. In both cases, these activities will continue in earnest for approximat...
Whew. We think you’ll agree that the ground-breaking HuntStand Whitetail Rut Map is a very useful, information-packed tool. And maybe even better, it’s just one component of the new HuntStand Pro Whitetail upgrade. If you’re looking to up your whitetail game, do yourself a favor and upgrade today.

Oct 18, 2022 · Head to deer camp on Friday the first and get ready to sit in a tree for ten hours a day for the next nine days. Bucks will be running rampant. The first does are starting to come into estrus. Be sure to get in early—well before shooting time—and sit all day if you can.

Why does the timing of the rut peak scatter all over the calendar in the Southeast U.S.? How can I determine the peak of deer breeding where I hunt? Is late rutting activity an indication of a problem? When do bucks make the most rubs and scrapes in relation to the peak of breeding? See the infographic below:
