Rutting activity can start as early as August and continues as late as mid-January in Texas deer pastures. To check your area, find where you hunt on the map, cross check it to the chart below and see what percentage of bucks in your area should be rutting on which days. The information was taken from the studies done by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists as part of a deer-breeding study.

This information was taken from the October 31, 1999, San Antonio Express News which can be reached online HERE.
