when is or will be the peak whitetail rut?

[Bodenhimer]

Hello all, Am wondering when the peak breeding should occur this hunting season for whitetails around Missoula area?
As of Nov 3 I havent seen any chasing or scraps. Thankyou

I hope they are getting started by Nov. 11. My son and I will be in Carter County that week. Either whitetail or mule deer. Would like to hear what's happening in that part of Montana. Good luck to you.

I just came back from Big Timber area, whitetails weren't chasing does yet, usually this next weekend things should start perkin up. Little mulie bucks were with does and knocking horns, but the does weren't receptive yet. Usually middle of Nov. till last weekend of season is prime time I have found.
