Texas has some of the best Trophy Whitetail Deer Hunting in the USA. Many Texas
counties offer trophy bucks that score over the Boone and Crockett limit of 170 points.
The whitetail deer rut is a little later in Texas than in the Midwest and Eastern part of the
Nation. A reputable Texas trophy whitetail deer hunting outfitter that can provide the
visiting hunter with valuable information could really make a difference in your timing and
success. There are many different options available when hiring a Texas hunting guide and
it will be your choice as to how much guidance you need.

Because of the great Whitetail Deer hunting, Texas Mule Deer hunting, Texas Elk hunting
, Texas Turkey hunting , Texas Varmint hunting, Texas Feral Hog hunting, Texas Javelina
hunting, Texas Dove hunting , Texas Duck hunting, Texas Quail hunting, Texas Waterfowl
hunting and Texas Goose Hunting, Texas will provide ton's of outstanding choices for the
active hunter. Non- resident hunters are welcome and provide million's of dollars to the TX
economy. Be sure to check the Texas hunting regulation page and Texas hunting license
& regulation link for license and season information. Also, be sure to view the relevant ads
and links area that will inform you about the opportunities that Texas has to offer!

.........................Early and Late Texas Deer Ruts.........................

What about the early and late ruts? Hunters and outdoor writers often talk about the rut
being early or late. In Texas, at least, the breeding season for white-tailed deer is fairly
predictable from year to year. Within a specific area, habitat conditions not only affect
fawn survival, but can affect thetiming of breeding. A doe in poor condition or a young doe
may not breed until late in the season. A doe may be attractive to bucks for about five
days, but may be willing to breed for a period of only 24 hours. If the doe is not bred during
her first cycle, she will generally come into heat again about 28 days later.

In areas where there are few bucks, a doe may not encounter a buck when she is first
receptive and may not be bred until one of her later cycles. A hunter, landowner or
biologist who sees the late breeding activity may be convinced that there was a late rut.
On the other hand, those who see does attended by bucks in the early part of the season
believe there was an early rut. This helps explain the wide variety of opinions on the timing
of the rut during a particular year.

"Hunter chronology" has a lot to do with the perceived timing of the rut. Traditionally,
hunters are more likely to be afield during cool weather. They will usually be out in force
with the onset of the first weekend norther during the deer season. When there are many
observers spending time in the field it is more likely that breeding activity will be noticed.

Bucks, like hunters, have a tendency to move around during cool weather. Bucks with
hardened antlers are ready to breed and are looking for a willing doe. More movement
means more opportunity to encounter a receptive doe. This increased movement helps
give rise to the idea that cold weather causes the rut. However, this theory is disproved by
white-tailed deer breeding in tropical climates.

We once thought that late fawning could be a problem in areas where survival was low and
antlers were poorly developed. Newly weaned fawns on the range in late fall would have a
harder time surviving. A lack of adequate nutrition at this time could affect future body and
antler production. The study showed that very few fawns are born late in Texas. South
Texas has the latest breeding period. Even there, fawns are born before August and are
weaned by October.

Breeding Dates for White-tailed Deer in Texas

The Rut by Geographic Areas in Texas

Biologists who designed the study knew there were distinct rutting periods
in different parts of the state. They picked 16 study areas which were typical
of the different ecological regions. The areas represent north-south or
east-west distinctions. Read the descriptions and look at the map to locate
your area of interest. We list the earliest and latest dates for breeding in
each ecological region and a "peak" breeding date for each study area.
The graphs show the percent does bred during weekly periods throughout
the breeding season.

Texas Gulf Prairies and Marshes Deer Hunting Rut
The earliest whitetail breeding in the state occurred in this ecological
region. Breeding occurred in the period August 24 to November 25. There
were two study areas: the northern study area had a peak date of
September 30, while the southern area was a month later with an October
31 peak breeding date. Does showed a 92 percent breeding success and
1.6 fetuses were found on the average for each doe sampled. The majority
(90%) of the fawns would have been born by May 10 in the northern area
and by June 6 in the southern area.

Texas Post Oak Savannah Deer Hunting Rut
The conception dates for does in this region ranged from September 30 to
January 16 during the study period. Two study areas were used. The peak
breeding dates for the central and southern portions were almost identical.
The peak dates were November 10 and 11, respectively. Does showed a
92 percent breeding success and 1.7 fetuses were found on the average for
each doe sampled. The study shows the majority (90%) of the fawns are
born by June 17 in the central area and by June 26 in the southern area.

Texas Pineywoods Deer Hunting Rut
Most breeding activity happened from October 21 to January 5. Peak
breeding dates were November 22 in the northern portion and November
12 in the southern part of the Pineywoods. Does showed a 96 percent
pregnancy rate and averaged 1.7 fawns each. The majority (90 %) of the
fawns are born by June 29 in the northern area and by June 19 in the
southern area.

Texas Rolling Plains Deer Hunting Rut
Most does were bred from October 8 to December 30 in the three years
studied. Study areas showed a peak date of December 3 in the north and
November 20 in the south. The Rolling Plains had the highest incidence of
pregnancy, with 97 percent. Biologists found an average of 1.7 fawns for
each doe examined. The majority (90%) of the fawns are born by July 2 in
the northern area and by June 26 in the southern area.

Texas Edwards Plateau Deer Hunting Rut
Conception dates for this region ranged from as early as October 9 to a late
date of January 30. The Edwards Plateau, Texas' highest deer production
region, was divided into three areas for the study. The eastern part had a
peak breeding date of November 7. Peak breeding for the central portion
was November 24, and the western area had a peak date of December 5.
An average of 90 percent of the does were bred and the average number of
fetuses found was 1.3 per doe. The majority (90%) of the fawns are born by
June 14 in the eastern area, June 26 in the central area, and by July 13 in
the western area.

Texas Cross Timbers Deer Hunting Rut
Representing the north-central part of the state, conception dates in the
Cross Timbers and Prairies were as early as October 13 and extended to
December 17. In the northern portion of the region the average breeding
date was November 15. The average breeding date in the southern part
was November 17. Biologists recorded an average of 1.7 fetuses per doe
and 95 percent of the females had been successfully bred. The majority
(90%) of the fawns are born by June 15 in the northern area and by June 20
in the southern area.

Texas Trans-Pecos Deer Hunting Rut
Conception dates in the Trans-Pecos ranged from as early as November 4
to as late as January 4 during the 3-year study. The peak date of the
breeding season was December 8. This ecological region experienced
drought conditions during the last two years of the study. The resulting poor
nutrition was reflected in the observed reproductive rates. Only 81 percent
of the does were pregnant and the average number of fetuses was a low 1.0
fetuses per doe. The majority (90%) of the fawns are born by July 16.

South Texas Plains Deer Hunting Rut
South Texas had the latest rut in the state. Breeding dates ranged from
November 9 to February 1 during the three years. In the eastern part of the
area the peak breeding date was December 16, while in the west it was
December 24. The pregnancy rate was 95 percent and there were 1.5
fetuses for each sampled doe. The majority (90%) of the fawns are born by
July 19 in the eastern area and by July 25 in the western area.
