Montgomerey, Robertson, Cheatham, Stewart counties- November the 8th! No doubt- that day has always been a "money maker" for me! I have shot bucks either trailing or chasing does on this day for many years. I will do some pretty extreme stuff to get that day off of work!
Ooops. I misread your topic. I just noticed you said "Peak Rut". I would say that Thanksgiving is usually the peak where I hunt. November the 8th is just a magical chase day!

If its peak daylight buck movement your asking about, and I had to pick a single day, here in East TN that would be November 24'th. In Illinois it would be more like November 8'th

BGG,
I agree completely with that data from the 70s through 90s. However, I seem to be seeing a slight shift forward since the buck age structure has changed so dramatically in the last decade. I used to pick Nov. 17-18 as the peak dates in my area (Region 2), but now I would shift it forward about a week to Perhaps Nov. 11-12.

I agree completely. I would love to have a continuous data set but unfortunately some things get axed when budget cuts are made.

That was my best guess. They ceased long before I got there.
