Anyone seeing anything? I am coming down this weekend to hunt with some friends. Looks like great beach weather!

Any bucks chasing or scent checking??

Seen some small ones bumping some does. Had a few new bucks showing up on camera too so I think they're starting to roam a little bit.

good to hear. thanks and good luck

I hunted Bullock Sunday pm and Monday am. Saw bucks both days. None were chasing but they are starting to get up and move. Haven't gotten any daylight buck pics but saw some fresh scrapes last week. Should be catching them just before they peak but you should see some action.

We are in south montgomery county and we have seen young bucks, basket rack 8's pushing doe in the food plots. Had two bucks killed who had black tarsals and swollen necks. Also, talked to Taylors processing and they said they gutted 26 bucks on Saturday and 23 of them didnt have any hair left on their inner thighs from breeding. But with the warm weather approaching, it may get knocked back down in a hurry.

Thanks everyone. I am worried about the weather but plane tickets were purchased months ago. We are gonna get after them in shorts and flip flops I guess. Just the way it happens sometimes I guess. Either way should be fun. Good luck to all!

It will start getting good this weekend. Good luck to y'all Jarod.

Our club has land in Montgomery, Pike and Coffee counties and up till last weekend only one buck had been killed. They killed 5 bucks last weekend.

Thanks. Same to you Leroy!

Man, I am getting excited about this more and more. Glad I posted here, was really worried weather would mess us up.

I saw a mature buck with a doe just off of south blvd (yes south blvd) three days ago at 9am.

Haha...I believe it!

Sitting in the stand now. This morning my buddy killed a nice buck and another buddy missed. The one that was killed was by himself. The buck that was missed was running a doe grunting his head off. Third friend had 4 does in front of him and two different bucks came and checked them. They seem to be on the move here.

I used to hunt east montgomery county and they should be wide open right now. Sit all day, hunt as often as you can.

We have seen very little rutting activity so far in south Montgomery county. I hope that changes this morning!

FWIW - We just had our Lion's Club Charity deer hunt. Had 45 guys hunt Thursday afternoon thru this morning- Saturday. That is roughly 180 "sits" in the woods not counting the 20 guides/ landowners hunting. Properties in every county contiguous to Montgomery plus Wilcox/ Lowndes. only 3 bucks taken. none of much size, maybe a dozen does. One of the 3 bucks was chasing in Bullock south of Union Springs. Others walking alone. Think the moon/ heat were probably factors. Got a report this morning that small bucks were running does in Central Barbour co. My point would be with that many sets of eyes in the woods in a short timeframe, lack of activity( chasing) by bucks may mean it "ain't on" yet around here.

UPDATE: one more buck taken this morning in Lowndes.

We are seeing bucks chasing does morning sits until about 9am. Evenings have been very slow. So far two bucks killed one behind a doe and a miss that was also pushing a doe.
