A good friend of mine has been invited to bow hunt in Southern IL in Massac County not far from Metropolis, IL.

He wanted me to ask around on some forums to get an idea of when the typical time of the rut usually falls in that area as well as the average quality of bucks.

It is low pressured farm land.

Thanks for any info.

Early to mid November. Sometimes you will see heavy action at the end of October.

Most people bet on the second week of Nov.

Good luck to him.
