How long does the deer rut(2009) last in jacksonville, FL?
Do bucks travel outside of their bedding areas during this time or is there no need since Jacksonville is over populated with does? If you were to use scent during post-rut how much time is needed for the scent to possibly hit it's target? Hunting - 4 Answers

Your asking questions that will all determine on circumstances. The rut's start and end depends on the weather. And the scent depends on how much you used, the deers distance from you, the deers location to you, and wind.

i would look for fresh scrapes,, i think in that part of the country,, the rut maybe still on if your doe to buck ratio is high there,, try some scent and grunt call also,, not all does get serviced , at the same time,, use a drag line too with scent on it as well,,good hunting

The problem with Florida is the fact that like most of the deep south, the rut is not condensed into a two week time period. I was told by biologists that in the deep south does are bred over a 4 month stretch of time. There is some truth to this because I have killed a buck trailing a doe in Oct., Nov., Dec., and Jan. over the years. This is in the state of Louisiana. However the rut varies in parts of the state from as early as late Sept.in the area my lease is in to the first week in Jan. in the state reserve close to my house. And yes the bucks will travel a lot more during the rut to try and find the first receptive does. Even though there is a healthy population of does they do not all go into heat at the same time. And the does that do not get bred the first time they are in heat will go into heat again the following month. I can't tell you much about using scent because I quit using it years ago when I found out most of the scent on the market was a mixture of man made chemicals and had no deer urine in them at all. And the ones that did contain deer urine only had to have one drop of deer urine to be able to make the claim that it contained 100% pure deer urine. Good luck!
