It’s definitely coming. We are ready. I just want a little excitement. It’s already been a good year. My son has shot 2 decent bucks real early in season. We have 3 that we are wanting a shot at. If season ended today, we wouldn’t complain. There is just nothing better than watching a hot doe with a good one hot on her trail.

With the gf in Franklin county. Usually this is just about the best weekend of the year but my trail cam hasn’t showed much. I think we had an early rut this year. Shot a buck two weeks ago, threw it in the back of the truck and just sat on the road so I wouldn’t ruin anyones else’s hunt since I got it so early. Saw two more bucks running does as I just sat there.

At work making double time and a half couldn't pass it up

Goodluck to y’all, should move good today.

I'll be there with my GF this afternoon.

It’s dead here. Love the hunting conditions, minus that I’m not seeing anything.

First spot didn’t work out as I hoped, so I’m back at a road crossing in my tree seat..just had a small doe cross at 30 yards..

Present here in Clarke. Watching over a clear cut.

That looks like it would be some quick shooting.

You need to use the bucket trick on that spot gator.

They usually stop and look around for a second

Beautiful morning in South Montgomery County. The cows were happy to see me until they realized that I wasn’t there to feed them.

Just got home from work. Bout to load up the tracking dogs and go clean up the woods from yesterday hopefully these won't take all day and I can get afterem this afternoon

Nothing here in Clarke so far

Broadhead - think my rut started early - had chasing in Clark by diff mature deer 2-3 days straight and all were also lip curling - Camden same way - chasing hard 2 weeks ago - movement slow since which is what u usually see in the rut - does get scared to death and the 8 point i shot 2 weeks ago smell rutty bad - experience has told me I usually don’t see them chasing hard for 2-4 weeks - spurts - 2-3 days
They were finally chasing in Camden again yesterday- May go back today and while experience has told me rut here usually best 17-20th on - I hav also seen it come in hard Early on diff years

Good luck guys

When you guys say chasing do you mean a buck checking does off a field then moving on to another group or are yall talking about 1 buck locked onto one doe who just stays with her wherever she goes? The first example is prerut imo the 2nd example or mature deer just dissappearing (breeding) is the rut or actual breeding period imo. Lots of folks call bucks busting out and clearing a green field or chasing around a family group of does the rut but I was taught that happens 10-14 days before actual breeding.

I agree with Ben on this one..

Buddy just killed a 9 point making a scrape..

Huggin a tree. Waitin on something to move in the daylight.

Gator bait 154. Send a full pic of you shooting set up when u get a chance. Thanks

Nothing here yet
