I live just outside stark in middleburg, Fl. and from my experience the prime rut is between Mid october thru November. There is a second rut with alot less activity but that noramlly hits end of december. Now again this is IMO and when Ive had the best luck and the most activity.

Deer during rut here responds well to calls, I personally have not tried rattling much but plan to give it a shot this year. Also had good luck with mock scrapes in my area. Good luck and let me know you if you need any help with anything, im just a couple miles away from ya.
