@@laylow3697 rut is the same time every year for the most part it doesn’t really change. When they start scraping they are marking territory’s which would technically be the pre rut. For the most of us that pre rut really picks up last week of October and by the first and second week of November would be the rut.
For sure. It’s the same throughout the entire year they change based of food in the winter, spring summer then the fall it’s based on pressure, food and rut
I have 700 acres in a river bottom and 113 acres of crops. I don't think its outfits suddenly filling feeders I'm sure they do it all year. I have cell cameras all over so I'm not bothering them. At the beginning of September there were bachelor groups all over. Suddenly the bigger bucks have vanished. I'm sure they've moved to different bedding areas they use after antlers lose velvet. I suddenly have bucks on camera 500 yards from where they were a couple of weeks ago. October 1st is opening day here in Oklahoma, temperature is in the high 80s or low 90s. I won't hunt for a couple of weeks till it cools down or bucks start sneaking around checking the neighborhood to see what's going on before the rut... I don't know what to call it but bucks definitely change around the end of September. But I don't think it's human pressure, its just what bucks do every year. If its cool enough go hunting, if warm be patient and wait for the right time. Good luck to all this season and be safe 🙏
Yes. I’ve talked about that that’s pretty common. Bucks shift every year around that time like mentioned they either want to be there or not. It’s not a lull it’s just they have shifted to a different home range a lot of it has to do with food/cover and or hunting pressure!
What it is is a lull mostly of something the deer react to that is a valid reason beyond the scope of human understanding. What does happen is our human sense of things makes up all kinds of reasons why there is one or not. I personally believe iT is a biochemical change of becoming hard antlered for the bucks and the does also react accordingly. And that interruption is the beginning for that change for a couple of weeks until things become breeding sensitive and monitor studies show this.
I think we put too much effort on debunking some of these things. Let those who think there is a lull believe it. Maybe it will keep their bad habits out of the woods.
My channel is about trying to teach from years of hunting so others have more success. I don’t think it’s to much effort on debunking it. There’s very little info debunking it compared to the spread of it. But you do have a good point with bad habits out of the woods lol
Yelp had a big 8 point show up and never looked at te corn, just looked at my setup, he want be back lol😢, not to that location as I hit him with a arrow last year so happy to see him in the woods still and didn't get infected from my bad shot. I knew he was running around chasing does last year 6 weeks later. But we have the only oaks around next to a Roy Martin lumber property full of nothing but pines
I have no issues with the "lull" on my property. I don't sit on stand unless conditions are right. If the opener has lousy conditions, I don't hunt. The "lull" is due to human scent all of the sudden permeating the woods/fields. Some of my best hunts with big bucks showing up is in October. I'm sure if hunting public land, it makes it seem like a lull. I own 98 acres that sits next to thousands of acres of state land which is difficult to access close to my property, with the neighbors only hunting rifle season late November. I can treat my season as a marathon, not a sprint, by only hunting in the right conditions, keeping scent and disturbances to a bare minimum.

I worded something in reverse in the video can you pick it out lol 😂?
I dont watch your videos😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@citysticker-chris dumb
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors dont be bitter
Im new to hunting. I just wanted to say your videos helped me out a lot getting my first buck
@@Pabloman2190 that’s awesome congrats! What’s what it’s all about
Changing patters! Everyone puts there stands up for opening day and soon the pattern changes. We as hunters have to adapt. Move sets accordingly 👍
Definitely 💯
I never did beleive in the oct lull. I always did good buy getting into the oaks
Definitely a good plan
Where I'm heading in the morning right in the middle of the oaks and acorns everywhere,
Is it safe to say once they start scraping trees the early rut starting? What’s a tell tell sign?

When you see plenty of roadkilled deer, the rut is on. My area starts around Halloween thru Veterans Day. Smaller one early Dec.
All about acorns and rising testosterone. I call it the shift. Usually on smaller parcels, it gets good again near the middle of October

For sloppy hunters yes there is a lull in movement but it doesnt matter which month
