RUTTING BY ZONES IN TEXAS
Rutting activity can start as early as August and continues as late as mid-January. 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 3, 2004, San Antonio Express News which is an excellent newspaper for south Texas and Mexico deer hunters. If a hunter is trying to locate a lease or day hunt for deer in this region, I recommend that the Express News Classified section be given a thorough review.
