Still not heating up in jackson county

Not sure what's going on . Seen 3 doe's no bucks with them. Seen a buck just trotting across a field today at another location Little 6 point

seen a good bit of buck activity this morning,just nothing big enough....one almost,but needs another year!

Youngins already starting to pester does here in South Chilton so that makes no sense at all.

In the valley ? Dekalb is hot seen a lot there while driving around working

Yep. It's dead right now in the part of Jackson county that I hunt.

From what I've seen the last 2 days, looks like things are right on schedule. Bucks looking for love but does aren't hardly ready.

x2 Pop pulled a couple green that were crusing this week. They were both 3 1/2 with good horns but crusing no chasing.

Still dead in central Morgan county also. Should start seeing scrapes in about a week and a half. Then any time in Jan you'll have a chance

Northeast part of the county should be getting close, it's still atleast 3 weeks away in PRV.

Ha... I think deer are an extinct species in our area. Absolutely dreadful! We don't even have pictures at night

Unless there's been a shift since I hunted upper PRV peek breeding should be rockin' in 10-15 days, right around Jan. 1.

I'm not for sure about upper PRV, I guess just should have said mid to lower is at least 3 weeks away. The 12-16th has always been prime where I hunt

I can't see crap but a few I know are. It's close around here.

I hunt chilton also its been a tough year.but I finally have some bucks figured out.I went in on a spot a week ago and hung 2 climbers were there is always the same scrape every year. Put out 50 pounds of corn and made 4 mock scrapes ,and put up a camera. Iwent to check it wensday there were rubs every were, so I left the camera alone .I hunted it this morning,dint see nothing. But I did check my camera it had 7 bucks together.5 were basket racks and 2 shooters. 2 of them were fighting.but I had no does on the camera. But 5 new very fresh scrapes. Like I said it is a. Strange year.

Yep , the lower PRV came from those released on the Jones farm, upper end Skyline deer. Or at least that's what I was told was the reason for the difference. Makes sense.

Dogs and JW, are yall seeing good buck sign? I'm on a new piece of ground this year here close to town, and I've not seen a whole lot yet. Still trying to figure this spot out. CD.

Hey trox what part of chilton are you hunting,I hunt cr 24 enterprise community.I have some good land but the deer I had during july and August have just about vanished I put out a 55 gallon barrel of corn they come eat it at night then gone.its bad when you have more turkey than deer.I planted wms deer magnet I have 9 green feilds and the only hunter on around 800 acres so theres no pressure.I just dont know the problem.im started seeing some huge rubs and some very fresh scrapes today.it usually is around the 5th of january before I see rut signs.

I'm on some hot sign. Hunted the same stand yesterday and today, big , hot primary right in front, bucks worked it both days. Seeing does and smaller bucks chasing and cruising . I don't think the really old studs are on their feet in daylight much just yet, but dang close. I'm moving a couple hundred yards tomorrow to a proven killin' spot. Good sign there too.

I'm seeing lots of buck sign. Bucks and does, not so much. Lots of scrapes and rubs.

I'm in the middle of blount county. Bucks still coming to the feeder every night together just like ole pals. This time last year they were split up and cruisin.

I'm seeing Doe's just no bucks on camera . Seen one over towards dutton by himself. Hell I might have pressured them off knowing my luck

No where that I've been this year has had much for buck sign. This is a weird year for me. My cousin killed a 2.5 year old 10 yesterday that was just feeding up the mtn. We saw several bucks and does yeaterday.

Bow that's the way it is here for me. No rubs or scrapes . Weird as you say . Hopefully it gets better

Finished up the weekend hunt this am. Saw a total of 2 deer and they weren't on our property. Hunted from Thursday pm until this am. Not even many folks shooting up in the Little Coon valley area during the same period. Over the past 5-6 years I've watched mature bucks chase does on Dec. 17th. Don't seem to even be close this year.

scrapes started opening up about 2 weeks ago. Seen a few small bucks running does but as everyone else has said we seem to be about a week out. A big 9 was killed 3 days ago next to us chasing a doe but I'm guessing that doe just happened to come in a little early.
