I hunt near Lexington TN and I'm taking /scheduling vacation for the next couple weeks. What's everyone thinking about the timing of the peak rut activity?
West TN rut
- Thread starter Spurhunter
- Start date

I hunt in Huntingdon and I'd say you hit the nail squarely on the head! The next 2 weeks should be prime time IMO
Just below ya in southern Chester Co and my best two weeks each year are always the last week of Nov and the first week of Dec.
I agree with TN Droptine on Chester County - Henderson County shouldn't be that different. My observation has been that things don't really get going until rifle season rolls around. Gives me the opportunity to hunt the earlier rut in middle TN, then slide over and hunt the later West TN rut. Best of both worlds!
Thanks for the opinions guys. I am hunting this Friday-Monday either way so I should have a feel by Monday night.

This is the case for Henderson Co.
In NW Henderson Co it exploded last year on the first week of December.

Have seen several new bucks within the last week. Have seen both cruising and chasing/pestering does. So far, all of them have been small yearling bucks. The big guys will start appearing between now and rifle opener then it'll probably stay good till thanksgiving plus a few days. That's the historical pattern here and this year looks well aligned with that experience.
