I am pretty sure Pickens and Lamar are usually about the same time. In Lamar it is pretty much over. Will probably see some action when they come around again the end of January.

On our place in south Fayette county it's usually the first and second weeks of Jan. We had a six point chasing and killed an eight point cruising last weekend.

Southwest Fayette County between Dec 23 - Jan 2 was stupid. There were a lot of bucks killed then.

Saw one basket rack from stand and found a very impressive scrape line last Saturday. Got a couple of bucks fighting on cam probably around two weeks ago. Most of my pics are still at night, very few day time pics.

Just watched a buck outside his ears chase a doe around for about 10 min....Ethelsville.

Last weekend in Lamar we saw a couple dozen does moving about but no bucks. 3 days before Christmas a buck was following a doe but not seeming to pay her much attention other than just being in the area.
Anything is possible about this time of year.

This one was killed on our lease this morning. He was 5 minutes behind a doe.

Nice one!

nice buck!

Looks like he was out in a clear cut.

Nice buck
