Originally posted by gandergitter View PostIm on a lease in east tx for the first time this year. Im in Polk cty. From what I have heard its typically in the later part of November. Most of the guys on our lease and neighboring properties said the rut last year was hardly evident. They tend to blame the hurricane. Said there wasnt much of a second or later rut to be noted either. Dont know if this helps or just screws it up worse for you. I just figured Id pass along the hear say Ive recaived.

Originally posted by Catfish270 View PostI would say it is not as pronounced as some other areas, but last year, an increased level rut-type activity the last week of October and through the first two weeks of November.

Originally posted by SPUD View PostIMO...Rut is too hard to define in East Texas because there are waaay too many does. There is a great number of hunters in ETX that don't believe in taking a doe...and now the US Forest Service will not let you take one either.
Until the buck-doe ratio gets in balance, the rut is up in the air.
Now having said that..I hunt in Shelby Co and saw rutting activity during the last week of October and first week of November

Since the last week of October, I have been three times, and the chasing had decreased to nothing from that first time. If I had to pin point it, from the last three years, I would say rut in van zandt county, in the part around 3227 and 47, is heavier around the last week of October to the first week or November. I will he going out again soon, and I will see what it is doing and update then.
