The Autumnal Equinox for 2011 is September 23rd. The second full moon after is an approximate time frame for the Deer Rut to generally Begin. This would put the Projected 2011 Rut on or about November 10th.

The rut is when the bucks start chasing the does! Really, I have found the peak of the rut in Iowa to be the week of Veterans day. Give or take as deer are unpredictable but this has always been a HOT week.
The South Carolina deer rut or the peak of rut season for the Piedmont is between October 15th and November 15th.
Deer usually rut in North Florida the last week of October to the first week of November, give or take.
The rut usually happens around the 2nd full moon after the autumnal equinox. The full moon for Nov 2008 is on the 13th. The rut usually happens between 5 days prior to 5 days after. Keep in mind that some older does com into estrus after the Oct full moon...
Rut occurs in the fall.
Rut runs from the end of october to the end of december. The does have three cycles when they come into heat during that time.
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.
the PEAK of the rut so the deer are moving and somewhat distracted. but dont assume they will be rut dumb. always be on your best game. anyway peak of rut just before cold front morning or night
Possibly. A doe deer, especially if it has a fawn or two to protect, can be quite fiercer than a buck deer on the rut. Even if the doe deer has no antlers, it can still seriously injure a wolf if the wolf gets too close to the doe deer.
