Oregon · Whitetail rut
Whitetail rut dates in Oregon.
Oregon's whitetail rut peaks November 5–20, but whitetail country is limited to the northeast and lower Columbia River drainages.
Oregon's whitetail population is small relative to its blacktail (western Oregon) and mule deer (eastern Oregon) populations. Whitetail are concentrated in the northeast counties and along the Columbia River drainages. The rare endangered Columbian whitetail subspecies persists in a small range along the lower Columbia. Whitetail peak conception clusters in mid-to-late November. ODFW publishes deer-program data covering all three species.
