From what I have seen they are barely moving. I have been in the stand for the last two mornings and evenings and have only seen two doe that were together. I would estimate another 3 weeks before th bucks become active and pre-rut begins. In Ohio, typically they are in full rut around the first week of November.
THE WEATHER WILL FINALLY HIT A COLD SNAP ON MONDAY OCT. 27TH. THIS WILL REALLY ACTIVATE THE PRE-RUT ACTIVITY. THEN AS THE SUN CONTINUES TO SET EARLIER EACH NIGHT ACTIVITY WILL INTENSIFY EVEN MORE. PEAK RUT FOR 2008 WILL BE NOVEMBER 6TH - 14TH (GIVE OR TAKE A DAY)

in the fall , it seems that the first cold snap has something to do with it but scientiest arn't sure what causes them to start to In Arkansas, our deer hunting season usually coincides with the rut. This year (2007) the rut peaked around the 15th of November. There was a secondary rut that followed about two weeks later.
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

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...
