what part of ETX?

This proves my point that last year, the "experts" who predict when the rut begins stated that most of east Texas was rutting the last week of August.

Now of course, there will be deer that did not get impregnated that will come back into estrus 28 days later, so the last week of September will have some rutting activity again. Then those deer that don't get impregnated will come into estrus again 28 days later, putting them in the 3rd or 4th week of October FINALLY when we are allowed to hunt. But, for the most part, all of us will have missed the majority of the rutting activity as most deer will have been bred long before any of us are allowed in the woods with bow or gun.

This explains why a lot of us here in East Texas never see any true rut activity during hunting season. Well, the timeline explains it, and the fact that most breeding takes place at night.
