I'm interested to read some responses to this thread...

Myself and two other guys leased 660 acres in Chambers (between Roanoke and Lafayette on the East side of county) from 1997 till 2011. One or two of those years we observed decent chasing from young bucks, but NEVER, EVER saw or killed a mature buck chasing a doe. Frankly, we would always see scrapes begin to show up at Christmas, but never actually have a rut. And no, it wasn't "late" like everybody claims, we simply never had a rut. And we killed the doodoo out of does with our bows (and guns early on) to attempt having a decent ratio, but I'm not sure that's what the problem even is. I don't believe we had a huntable number of mature bucks on the place, hardly ever got them on cameras at night.
We also leased 225 acres near Waverly on the West side of the county, had the exact same experience there. Chambers county as a whole to me does not have a discernable, defined rut. Not even in February, or March.
Both tracts, and multiple other clubs I'm aware of, show the same results. I have also noticed in the AON magazine "Truck Buck Contest" that there is almost never an entry from Chambers.
