Was hoping to hear some thoughts and advice on the peak rut dates in Ohio from members that live there or hunt there every year . Thanks Very Much !

I lived there for 17 years until 2010. Last week of Oct to the 2nd week of Nov. is a great time to be in the woods. Check the Regs....there is youth gun weekend right around that time as well. Probably want to avoid that if bow hunting.

I have hunted Ohio's rut every year for the past 26 years. I try to hunt hard from Halloween to 15 November. With that being said, if i only have a week or a long weekend I would take it between November 3 and 13. Depending on the weather of course. Jefro

Early to mid November is usually good hunting. This year the first two full weeks in November (6th-19th) had bucks on the prowl. My son shot a 10 point on the 20th (youth season) and it had a nasty wound that looked like an antler had punctured it.
