Ohio Rut 2025. Discover peak deer rut times, hunting strategies, and the best days to maximize your success. In delaware county this past weekend, i saw some small bucks wandering, one was tagging along with a doe and her 3 yearlings.
Archery season kicks off on september 28, 2024, and runs all the way through february 2, 2025. Given that hunters can’t pursue deer during the rut with firearms, that means compound bows and crossbows are king here.
