Was out during lunch today walking a property line and found fresh scrapes and brand new horned trees as well. These scrapes and horned trees were NOT there over the Thanksgiving weekend, and were made just days ago....so GET BACK IN THERE!!!

Yup, it is happening here as well!! I saw fresh rubs that were so fresh that the shavings were on top of the snow that we got last night. I also saw two bucks hounding a doe fawn on Sunday afternoons sit. Shawn

I'm jealous. The first rut hasn't started here yet. Nothing new though, it never starts before January. About three more weeks and things should start getting interesting.
It's odd how deer that are less than 100miles apart can have such different rutting times. The deer in northeast Alabama rut at about the same time as the Georgia deer, but central and south Alabama deer wait until January. I need a place to hunt in Georgia.LOL

Same here in NE Mississippi PSE--our first rut won't start until the season is nearly over (ends Jan. 31). Wish it would get moved back a month......or better yet, just stay open a month longer!

Yep fresh rubs in Jersey as well. Larry [Recurve 50LBS] e-mailed me pictures of a fresh rub on a 4 or 5 inch diameter tree, Buck has to be a good one.

JC, I've seen two nice bucks out of the "POISON" stand at less than 20 yards and a pile of does..I pointed at them but thats all... The scrape is at least 10 ft. across now, I'll try to send you some trail cam pics... Saw a nice 6 pt. swim the creek at "DROP-TINE" Monday morning....Conan has shot a couple of does this week...Sky says he's waiting on you to come back....Hurry.... :) Don and Skyler
