I’m on the south end of Paint Rock Valley. Ours seem to get hot around Jan 9 every year.
Yep. Lower end of the Valley west towards county line and Gurley is mid Jan. Those deer were restocked on the Jones Farm and came from a different place than those released at Skyline.
The OP said he saw chasing "on the River". I assumed he meant Tenn River . Central Jackson county , Skyline and upper PRV breeding is last few days of Dec , first few days of Jan.
