When is the projected deer rut in Missouri for 2009?

2010 is predicted to be a great hunting year. Because of the low buck harvest of 2009 and the rut of 2010 the size of bucks and also the number of bucks harvested this year should be something to remember. A large number of folks in the hunting fold believe that the deer rut usually occurs during the hunters moon. The hunters moon is the 2nd full moon following the first day of fall. In 2010 That moon would fall on the 22nd of October. Now most would say that is much too soon for the rut, but research has shown that the hunters moon is a fact and that deer DO rut during this moon. As long as the deer herd is healthy and the deer are not extremely stressed. Now the best part of 2010 is that you will also have a good chance at the November full moon to hunt a 2nd phase rut. Some will believe that the cooler weather and shorter daylight hours will be the big reason for the deer to rut on this moon. Either way Im looking foWord to it. There are phases of the rut such as seeking, chasing, ect. So when it all boils down to it I believe that the best time to be in the woods hunting the rut in 2010 is October 18th-24 and also November 15th-24th. Good luck
