Splatt Report post Posted April 20, 2018 Where do they start rutting ? I get conflicting info. Some say December, and some say January. Southwestern New Mexico. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted April 20, 2018 Deer don't follow a calendar so it can vary. People like to call December coues hunts "rut hunts" because they don't know any better, and it is the closest thing Arizona has to a rifle rut hunt for coues deer. But more often than not, they are pre-rut at best. If you do see any rut activity in December, it will usually be the last few days of the month. Mid January is GENERALLY the prime rut time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
