For all Starkville area deer hunters--

When does the rut typically peak in this area of the state. I know an exact date is not possible to give but based on your past experiences please advise me approximately. Thanks in advance.

Casie, seems like I remember them cutting up pretty good the week after Christmas and into the 1st week of January.

Christmas through the first week of January is usually the hottest around my area. We're close to Brooksville though.

position your cursor near your area. the date shown is the simulated mean conception. to estimate peak rut, subtract 2 weeks.
happy hunting
