Just wondering what was the best week you guy's had for the Rut activity this year with a screwed up Rut? Do you guys think Full moon or any moon its hard to beat the first week in NOV?
Thanks

All the hard chasing I saw was the last couple days of Oct(in Nebr.) and the first week of Nov (in Iowa) but everyone has different times they go out and observe rutting .
 
I hunted everyday from Halloween to Nov 20th and then Thanksgiving weekend. The best action I saw was from about 11/13 to 11/17, which not so coincidentally, was about when the temps finally dipped below 70*. I could not hunt much in late Oct though.
 
In KS it was nuts the first week of Nov( we were done in 3 days, hunted the 4th and 5th(shot mine), my buddy benny shot his on the 7th.

In Ia I had good action the last few days of October and it picked up again around Nov 15.

Here in MN it seemed to be a typical rut as my brother and Dad had many big buck sightings the 1st 2 weeks of Nov.
 
For me it was Nov. 14-20. Full moon week. Had many mature buck sightings and many multiple sightings them same mature bucks. Most activity was at 9:00-9:30 am, 1:00-1:30 pm and 4:00 pm. It seemed that after 4:00 pm you could just as well head home as nothing was moving. This was along the Canadian border in northern MN.
 
right around the 15th when the weather cooled off.I think the best activity was all at night this year in my area.
 
Nov. 5-11 here in north-central WV. Shot a good 8 pt. on the 5th as he was cruising. Saw some chasing on the 10th, and on the 11th, had three bucks, including a wide 9 or 10, chase a hot doe under my stand. They were going full speed and I could only watch. I was fortunate to have good weather just about every time I was able to get out this year.
