Rut in Yazoo

[dorf]

I hunt just south of Yazoo City when does the rut kick in? Mainly duck hunt but thought about hunting some of the bucks this year.

just place your mouse in the genereal area of where you hunt and don't move it, the date will pop up next to the pointer...

Most deer behavior studies have shown that hunter- observable rutting activity peaks about two weeks prior to the mean breeding date. Therefore, this quest becomes quite simple for the hunter, who simply subtracts about two weeks from the mean conception date in his area, to obtain the simulated peak rut period.

From accompanying article to that map

The pre-rut is when you see deer behaving agressively. Grunting, chasing and such. The actual rut, he is laid up with a hot piece of booty and doesn't move unless she does.

I know the feeling as far as having a ton going on. I am cautiously optomistic about the amount of hunting I get to do this year.
