Im seeing huge massive scrapes now, tended to daily, Ive heard of bucks following does, lip curling and everything. My parents told me they almost hit a buck last night that had its head to the ground right behind a doe. It looks like they are starting to rut. Im going out in just a couple minutes, hopefully I'll see some action

I really hate to remind some people but charles alsheimer rut prediction said that the rut could be really early this year.
I will upload a pic of the chart.
I have followed it for about 4 years and it is really close to what the dates say.
I was really surprised to see rut sign this early in the season, but low and behold there it is, rubs scrapes the whole nine yards.
I think it is just starting to heat up.

OCTOBER 17th was the Rutting moonand and the pre-rut moon was on september 19th.
quote from hunting whitetails by the moon
in previous chapters i discussed the fact that there are 2 years between now
and 2020 that dont fit my definition for the pre-rut and rutting moons,
which are the first and second full moon after the fall equinox.
those two oddball years are 2005 and 2013.
in 2005, the pre-rut moon will occur september 19th, four days before the
fall equinox.that means that in 2005, the rutting moon will occur october
17th.
in 2013 the pre-rut moon will occur sept.21st, two days before the fall
equinox, causing the rutting moon to occur on october 19th.

I thought the rutting moon was the 2nd full moon after the autumnal equinox? That was the 22nd of Sept, there was a full moon Sept 18, Oct 17, the next one is Nov 16 that should be the rut moon yes? . Am I figuring wrong? It does seem very late but what the heck do I know.

I was watching Deer and Deer Hunting on the Outdoor channe a few months ago and Dr Charles Alsenhiemer predicted the rut will be on or around the 16th of November.
It amazes me how every year we hunters foam at the mouth in anticipation of the rut. I often wonder who is more rut crazed? The deer or we the hunters?

Dont forget the wildcard...WEATHER..if it gets cool which it looks like it will, than great. If I had the time I would hunt every chnace I got, but with school right now I have to pick my battles, so if the weather stays warm than I will try and work ahead in school, if it gets cold than I 'm out there for sure!!! I try and not burn myself out hunting when I know deer movement will be down, I save the marathons for the cooler weather that coincides with late october.

the rutting moon is actually called the HUNTERS moon, and the Hunters Moon follows the HARVEST moon which is called the Pre-Rut Moon.
THe words the 2ND FULL MOON AFTER the fall equinox is normally 100% correct EXCEPT this year (2005) and the year 2013.
the Harvest moon which is the moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox actually happened to be full a few days BEFORE the fall EQUINOX.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<FROM THE BOOK >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
YEAR 2005
Pre-Rut Moon / Harvest Moon occured on September 19th
Fall equinox occured on September 22nd or 23rd.
Rutting Moon / Hunters Moon occured on October 17th.
the Dates - the quotes - the Rutting Chart Dates are ALL from Charles Alsheimers Book "Hunting Whitetails By The Moon"
None of this INformation I have shared is anything I have concluded, it is all INFORMATION FROM THE BOOK.
all dates - reason for everything is from CHarles Alsheimer - Wayne Laroche - Patrick Durkin - Debbie Knauer - Paul Daniels - Terry Rice - Ben Lingle - TGom Morgan - Dave Griffith - Mike Biggs - Leonard Lee Rue III - Erwin Bauer - Jim Charlie and quite a few others who were involved in the study and the writing of the book.
