With the month of December in full force I think it would be a great tool to have a thread to keep check of the rut/rut activity here in Alabama. Let's try and keep this thread going throughout the year. Format posts as in the example below so that we can stay organized.

Location: Selma, Cullman, Aliceville, etc.
Date: 12/7/14
Rut activity: scrape checking, increase in rubs, chasing does, etc.
when was last year's rut?
Photo: show us your trophy
Kill info: what were your keys to success? Rattle, scent, decoy, call, does, food source, etc.
Other: any additional helpful information.

Spread the word. Let's get some mileage out of this post and help each other out.
