Found this on line what do you guys think. PS thanks tom it was good reading. The 2013 Rut Predictions This year the “Rutting Moon” falls very late in the year, on November 17th! That’s compared to October 29th last year, and November 10th in 2011. What does this mean for the rut? It means, according to this theory, that the majority of rutting behavior will be significantly later than it has been the last two years. According to Alsheimer’s Lunar Calendar, the peak of seeking and chasing behavior (in the North) should be from somewhere around November 14th through November 25th. Tending, AKA breeding, should peak somewhere around the 29th. So what does this mean for hunters? If you tend to believe these predictions, it would mean that the typical “prime time” of the first week or two of November may be a little slower than usual. Hypothetically the third and fourth week should possibly provide even better activity. When Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine releases their full article on Alsheimer’s predictions we’ll update this with more info, but for now the calendar dates are all we have to work with.
