Rut Vacation Selection

[Dewey]

Wausau/Antigo Area in Wisconsin. A good amount of does on my land. No bucks targeted since they spend all their time on the neighbors land until the rut hits so this time is my only chance to kill a big buck on my land.



Last year it was very sporadic early (Nov1-3). Didn’t see any Bucks for the first three days and then Nov 4-7 was good. I had to leave on Nov 8th. Trail cameras showed activity good all the way through gun season with the peak being about Nov 7th. I only have a 1 year sampling period so who knows.

Up there I would say Nov 5-12 may be better for you. My experience up in that area was later was always better even more so if you get north of Hwy 8.

I am going 6-16. We have tried going the week before and it really bites having to leave as things are ramping up...

That was me last year. I was off 7 days and only the last 3-4 were decent.

I could always shift it back a day and do Nov 4-11. That might be the best of both worlds.

There are some big deer starting to drop here in Indiana, I also just took a 30 mile drive down the highway and saw 2 dead yearling bucks and 3 fawns. I would typically say the second week of November, but I'm going to take a couple days each week, depending on the forecast.
