This is my 20th year hunting in Stephens county,. Rut is always in the 10th thru the 25th of November range. Most of the better bucks we've killed over the years have come the 2nd and 3rd weekends.
I was waitomg for either Stompy or Tye chime in.....they'vw hunted this area for a long time from north of Eastland county to southern Eastland county. Now these cool temperatures may be causing more movement but in my experience, Stompy is right. The second and the third weeks is the hard evidence you're looking for.
