Heading down to Abbevile on Thursday for our annual hunt. You guys that hunt that area (Henry, Eufaula, Barber), what are you seeing? Any chasing yet? Active scrapes?

Thanks

My cousin is in a club just a few miles west of eufaula. 4 members hunting this week have killed 3 racked bucks. Sounds like they are on their feet. Hoping I can get down next wknd and the weather doesn’t warm up too much.

Thanks...The weather looks to be too warm Wed/Thur but getting colder over the weekend.

I hunt just west of Abbeville and we are starting to see a little sign. They should be chasing in about 10 days to 2 weeks IMO

I saw some chasing at Eufaula NWR early December but it seems like the activity has died down

Thanks...Cold front after the rain this week should be good!

I hunt NE Dale County and we're starting to see a little sign also. Rubs/scrapes are starting to show up and finally getting the big boys on camera.

bucks are on their feet, i hunt a place that's 4 miles from fort gaines. there have been bucks prowling around and messing with does but the rut should about to bust lose in the next week to 2 weeks

Thanks Turkeymaster!

I hunt in barbour/henry. Agreed with the others. Young bucks are starting to move more and make scrapes but we are still about two weeks out.

Rut started a little earlier than normal with cold weather. They were chasing Saturday around food plots between Abbeville and Blue Springs area. Usually, MLK weekend is the best weekend from my experience.

This weekend should be darn good in North west corner of Henry county.The young bucks started scratching my place up last week and the does are tearing my plots up

just to update you, seems to be in strong, someone killed a 130 ish 9 point yesterday morning and there have been two other big deer seen tending does. no full blown chasing everywhere but the big boys are with the does on that place close to Ft. Gaines.

Perfect...We are hunting about 12 miles NE from there. Thanks

Heading back down to Abbyville in two weeks (Henry County). Any of you guys that hunt that area seeing any rut sign?

Somewhat old info, so hope it helps. The wife and I hunted about 2 miles west of Edwin, Al. in Henry county for a few years. The rut during our best season was the last week of January. We killed these three bucks in a period of 5 days. 2 of them came running in to a combo of a grunt tube and "The Can" by Primos.

The last 10-15 days of January for sure. We are just now starting to see scrapes. 5 miles SW of Abbeville.

Thanks guys...We hunt property off of County Road 36. Also another place in Edwin.

No deer around Abbeville. I would go to Dallas County if I was you.

No deer around Abbeville??? Not true wheelgun, not true.
