Midday has been great to me over the years. Morning being a close second. Evening not so much.

This has been my experience in all types of habitat. Around 11am is when I see the big boys

I've seen most of my activity over the years between 10-12.

So has the rut just started up there or been going for a few days?

Also, is it about a 2 -3 week time frame for the rut?

I think a lot depends on the set up. If you are hunting field edges I think morning hunting may be the best. If you are in the thick, 10:00 AM till dark is better. This has been my observation over the years.

When things are peaking I have always seen my best bucks from 9 am-1pm

Seems like the bucks wait till the does are bedded and them go out searching. Very rarely see any bucks from opening to 9 am unless somebody kicks them up.
