In late December to early January usually.
Rutting activity can begin as early as December in the northern regions of Alabama. In southern Alabama you should look for true rutting activity ie. chasing to begin on or around January 10. This date is pretty much solid knowing that most conception occurs on January 20th.

When will northwest MO deer go into rut in 2007?
2007 Missouri deer rut peakAs the deer rut never falls on the same date each year this is my prediction for Missouri 2007 based on the following considerations. I believe the rut will be at its peak on November 17th. The two stongest factors of this season being the moon phase, due to the full moon being at the end of the month, and the weather, as we have had a very warm fall.I believe there are four main factors which influence the timing of the rut.Length of the DayMoon PhasesWeatherHerd Condition.These factors do not work independently, but when combined they trigger and determine the breeding cycle.Length of DayThe length of the day is probably the single most overriding factor in deer breeding. It determines the ideal 200-day time frame for deer breeding and fawning. It remains constant from year to year and it becomes the deer's internal clock and calendar. As the length of the day changes throughout the year, the seasons also change and this triggers the deers' annual life cycle events such as shedding velvet, dropping antlers and breeding. When the deer are bred during this ideal time window, the fawns are born during the maximum survival window.Recent studies indicate the amount of light, or lack of it, directly affects the levels of melatonin in the does. The bucks are ready to breed as early as September, however they must wait for the does to come into estrus before breeding can commence. Melatonin is a sleep inducer and in deer it stimulates the estrus levels and dictates breeding time. The more light there is, the less melatonin is produced and this, in turn, causes the does to come into estrus.MoonlightDaylight plays the most important role in determining the rut, however the other source of light, moonlight, also plays a role. Moonlight cannot be the single factor in determining the rut because the moon phases fall on different dates each year. Basically, the amount of moonlight tends to sway the peak rutting time from one end of the ideal window to the other.A full moon provides more light at night, which stimulates increased deer activity, however it decreases the amount of melatonin level in the does. This lack of melatonin causes the does to come into estrus. This is the reason many believe the rut occurs right after the full moon. In ideal circumstances this is correct, however, when the full moon is later in the month, such as this year, the rut will occur prior to the full moon but its pulled slightly later in the ideal window. The full moon has a greater affect on breeding when it is earlier in the month than when it is later. If the full moon falls earlier in the month, the peak of the rut will occur earlier within the ideal time window and then taper off. If the full moon occurs later, the rut will begin slower and peak towards the end of the ideal window. If the full moon occurs directly within the window, the rut will be more obvious and intense.WeatherThe third factor affecting the rut is extreme weather conditions. Although this is not one of the most important factors, it can play a part. Long periods of weather that is either too warm, too cold, or too windy, can affect the rutting activity. Most breeding occurs at night when the weather is cooler and the deer are most comfortable in their winter coats.Herd ConditionFinally, herd condition plays a role in the timing of the breeding. Making sure the does are in the best possible condition is of utmost importance to the development of their winter coats. Without these winter coats, their chance of surviving the winter ahead is greatly reduced. As well, does which have had late fawns the previous year, may not be in optimum condition to breed in the first cycle and may not come into estrus until the second cycle, in December. When this occurs, the fawns are born late again in the following year and once established, this late breeding cycle can be difficult to correct.harley9675

When does the whitetail deer rut in Alabama?
They do not punch a time-clock. Usually, by the 1st of November rut activity is being seen. Bucks will be chasing does, but the does will not quite be receptive. All the way through the middle of November you will see rut activity. When the first rut ends, you usually will not know, because the does that did not conceive during the initial go-around will go into estrus again. In every area and county it will begin at different times. Year-to-year, it changes by a week or two. November is a very special month if you hunt whitetail deer.

What is posting in deer hunting?
Deer hunting during the rut is mainly waiting for the overactive, hormone-filled animals to cross your path. Hunting post rut, when the deer have learned the lessons of deer season and have satisfied their urges, is a bit more challenging.
