The title is basically the question. I know this varies around the country but I didn't know what the typical timeframe was for Oklahoma. I'm specifically looking for the northeast part of the state if it varies statewide.
Its usually around the muzzleloader season, and the time between it and rifle season, tapering off during the rifle season. There is no magic date for it to start. Its determined by the amount of sunlight, etc, but some start a little earlier, and some stay in rut a little longer.
The trick hunting the rut is to be in the woods. A lot.

As soon as the first doe comes into heat. As to the best time to be hunting the rut then what Okie4570 said
Thanks for the info. I ask because I got permission to hunt another one of my bosse's properties and after throwing up a camera 10 days ago, found that there was a nice bachelor group of three bucks that would come through and hang out every night, always together. Suddenly about three nights ago, the group stop coming in and only one of them has continued to come back. I figured that the bachelor groups breaking up might be a sign of the rut getting close.
This is the time of the year when you're getting ready to loose the opportunity to shoot any bucks you've been watching...............and will be getting ready to have a shot at your neighbors bucks lol.
In central OK, I've noticed the most rutting activity from November 7th - 19th.
makeithappen - you are right on target
