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

Here too! Yearling does are coming in. Deer are herding back up so you see 10 does better be looking for a buck trailing them. Gonna snow Saturday...can't wait!

Friday we saw fresh deer tracks in fresh snow leading to a small sapling with a fresh rub on it.  Refreshing!

yep!   late rut or 2nd rut has kicked in here for sure. after shooting that 8 pointer trailing them small doe last Friday I saw a 3 pointer hot on the little doe Sunday but, I'm all out of archery tags.

Went out this morning to see what was going on & i saw the same...fresh rubs made in the last week. Now i've got to get my butt out there!

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

Saw a buck chasing a doe and fawn this past Sunday.

don't be jealous Mark i lay down 120.00 to hunt Al. every year    come on over we'll find a place to hunt  

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.

Must be nice....bein able to "walk the property line" at lunch....I ain't seen my place in the daylight in a month!    

Sneak up on anuther biggun bro! I think the rut has been off kilter round here...hope it's still on for Bammy in Jan.

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

Same here in NC. Scrapes have become active again in the last week or so....
