Kentucky Whitetail Deer Rut

The rut in Kentucky for Whitetail Deer may last longer than two months form October through December and may go through 2 or 3 cycles. An individual doe is in estrus for only 24 to 36 hours. However, the estrus cycle of some does begins much earlier than that of others, and does that are not bred may come into estrus again 28 days later

 There’s no way to determine if tracks were made by a Whitetail or a doe. Either may leave drag marks. However, if the tracks are noticeably larger than other tracks in the area, chances are they’re from a Whitetail. 

How you track a Whitetail however is a common subject of a lot of arguments.  Very few people seem to have a skilled ability to track Rut Deer.
