Can I go?

YOU WILL BE GOOD AT BOTH TIMES IN JANUARY. WE TYPICALLY SEE MOST OF THE CHASING AROUND THE 17TH IN UNION SPRINGS. I OWN SEVERAL PROPERTIES IN THE COUNTY AND THE RUT STRETCHES ALL MONTH LONG. ARE YOU HUNTING WITH A GUIDE SERVICE? I GUIDE THERE AS WELL, JUST CURIOUS.

You're hunting in Bullock County - can't go wrong there

You cant go wrong with either. From what i've seen over the years the deer on your property might chase one week and a property 2 miles down the road might not see any chasing until 2 weeks later. Really just hunt all you can in January.

Where around Union Springs? I killed a decent buck in Midway on January 1st a few years ago. He was freshening up a scrape. No chasing at that point, but the rut was heating up.

I am now hunting a few miles east of there toward Eufaula and I can say that our peak rut has probably ended. This is my first year in the club and I was skeptical when the guys told me that the rut was generally during the 2nd week of December. I am now a believer. I am a firm believer that a balanced sex ratio leads to an earlier rut. I have seen just as many young bucks on this property as I have does. It's 3000 acres and the club has tried to take 60 does per year for the last 20 years or so.

South west of mid way about 10 minutes.We are south of hwy 82.I killed a decent 7 pt a few yrs back tending a scrape about 5pm he had a doe with him on new years weekend.my brother killed a nice 8 chasing the next morning

I USED TO HUNT ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY WE OWNED NEAR THERE. NEXT TO SWIFT PLANTATION. GREAT AREA. SAW PEAK RUT IN THAT AREA AROUND THE 10TH
