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.
Usually around the second week of november.
Photoperiodism. Essentially as the days get shorter a smaller amount of light reaches the deer's eyes. When the light intake gets low enough it triggers a hormonal change that get the deer looking for a mate.

They usually go into rut in the begining of bow season to about mid way threw
There is no concrete guarantee, but in my experience about the second week of November has produced the best results for me in the past, so it should be pretty close to that in 2009. Good luck to you. Steve J. , Fremont, Ohio
Southwestern Missouri typically experiences the whitetail deer rut from late October to early December, with the peak rut occurring in mid-November. However, exact timing can vary each year based on factors like weather conditions and deer population. It's best to consult local hunting resources or experts for the most accurate information.
Mule Deer: in higher elevations it runs late November into January, with peak early to mid-December. In desert areas it runs from December into February, with peak late December/early January. Whitetail: about a month later in the same areas. Source: Deer of the Southwest by Heffelfinger, Texas A&M University Press.

It should right around the fifteenth of November. I'm seeing really hard rut activity starting bout a week ago November 1st and all the way up to yesterday morning. It is different in every county and every area but notoriously it starts around the 1st and can go all the way straight into A second rut which is when the does who did not conceive the first go around will go into estrus again. November is the magic time of the season. For more info on whitetail activity in western new york and in general please go to the site listed in the Related Links.
