Casey Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'd say in your neck of the woods, middle of September, maybe earlier, and all the way through hunting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) ok call me dumb but..... OK .. You're dumb :):) Just kiddin eh I'd say in your neck of the woods, middle of September, maybe earlier, and all the way through hunting season. Yeah, like Casey said, they start rubbing to get their velvet off and continue with the rubs right through to the rut. They just get a little more vigorous at it the closer the rut gets.

wtnhunt Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Around here the deer are usually still in velvet early to mid September, a few rubs will show up then when the bucks clean the shedding velvet but not too many. We usually start to see more rubs around early to mid October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Very few bucks in velvet here in Oct. Rubs start popping up pretty soon in October too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Boy Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Late Aug early Sept in that part of the country what he said. Right around dove season (Sep. 1st) in Arkansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeinwalker Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 late aug. to early sept. around here. I have pics of some in velvet, some out of velvet completely by end of first week of sept. They mark territory with them when they start splitting up. Like a pack of dogs peeing on a car tire. They will all do it just to mark the territory of the one before them and claim, not to the extent of a scrape, but they smell the other deer on it and want to rub thier stink in it too, not always though. I've seen them into Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
