well all I can say is this rut is normally about begining of Nov to mid to late nov
BUT as soon as gun season starts I would think that would slow down most day time activiety as for rutting on all but very low pressure lands
an army of orange armed people entering the woods really seems to put a dent in the mood for some romance! thus changing the rut even if its there when it opens up!
but deer live in teh woods 24/7 so any chance out there is a good chance if you ask me! plus come gun season so many deer get moved due to the army entering the woods and moving them so??
I would count more on that movement than rut activety come gun season!
