I've got almost 20 years of pictures in the big woods of Northern WI and can confirm your data is spot on. I've also noticed the mid Oct. bump. My theory is that is when the bachelor groups are breaking up and the bucks are starting to set there territories. Lots of rubs and scrapes start showing up at that time. They also are hitting food sources for one last bulk up before the rut.
@northernforestwhitetail2 ай бұрын
@@peternelson7544 interesting- and your theory makes sense.

Bill Winke has talked about that he sees a spike in buck activity in mid-Oct and he says that he thinks it is because there are a few does that come into estrus a month early. That makes perfect sense to be because this peak is almost exactly 28 days before the primary peak.

Science in deer hunting and deer in general has come along way. I forget which channel it was but a study was done that showed a doe.will come into estrus the same time every year within 7 days to the date. Also through game camera pics and videos on our property in Maine I've seen fawns born in late May all the way till early August and those early born fawns some nights come into their first estrus in January of that same year, so a 6-7 month old fawn coming into estrus . Seems rough to be going through their first winter and some might be pregnant. I've also seen the mature buck chasing a doe in January. Game cameras have really been a game changer for hunting in general, I have some I haven't moved in 5 years just change the batteries when needed .

Super interesting man. I'm seeing very similar data - I don't have as many years under my belt (about 5), but over in the Adirondacks and VT, me and my circle of buddies have about 70 cams running. I'd say peak daylight is just a couple days later - 15 & 16, and remaining very high till about the 22nd. Also, Thanksgiving week is usually when I get the MEGA bucks daylighting. If someone is hunting a rut funnel in the ADK's, the best days to sit dark to dark are the 15-22nd.

This will be year 50 for me in the deer hunting woods. I’m very old school and do not have cameras out nor have I ever. That being said I have for the last 35 years kept a journal of my hunts. I just pulled it out and looked through it and without question my very best day of large mature buck sightings on stand is Nov. 13th. with Nov. 9th being a distant second. The other thing that stands out is that over 75% of the time I’ve had these encounters between 10:00 and 3:00, with 11:30 to 12:30 being the overall highest. The data comes from big hardwood forest in southern MN and the big woods of northern MN. It’s surprising how similar the dates are in the two different areas. Although this contrast your data slightly it’s still very close, thanks for sharing.

Also, I've seen the two little "blips" you mention. My Theory is that around the 17th-21st of October, big mature bucks check on their doe groups about 28 days before they cycle. Then, in the blip late November, the Giants are the ones most motivated to be the "clean-up-crew" for later cycling doe's. Maybe Higher Testosterone levels than sub-dominant bucks. Bigger bodies also enable them to keep burning reserves longer and going further and harder.
