When will the whitetail deer rut start in MS?

Answer 1

After all my years of hunting in MS. The rut seems to typically start the last two weeks of december. It kinda depends on factors like weather and geography. Ive had alot of time in the woods lately and have already seen small bucks chasing does. Maybe a early rut? Hope it helps

The absolute number one way to find out when the rut is happening in your area(because they dont all happen at one same time all over the state-usually start up north first) is to check with your local taxidermist. I live in central Ms. and my taxidermist friend says he always gets the majority of his bucks the week before Christmas and the week after. Granted, more people are off work and hunting more during these times, but my hunting experiences here have proven to me over the years that thats when the rut is the hottest here.

Answer 2

That can kinda be a tricky question because of the constant weather change in MS, normally the chasing phase begins somewhere around Nov. 12th and runs up to around Nov. the 28th. The breading of deer typically doesnt begin until the first week of December and run to the end of December & sometimes even later depending on numerous things such as weather, moon phases, temp. and other things.

Answer 3

November 3rd is the magical date for Marylands whitetail deer hunters. The rut should last approximately 20 days (depending on weather conditions).
