I have been hunting in the Wheeler Refuge near Huntsville. I have seen a few deer but very little sign that the rut is on. Only a few scrapes found so far. No chasing seen or even many deer. Last two years there was rubs and scrapes everywhere. Either the deer have moved on or the rut hasn't begun in this area yet.
Thoughts?

Just to the North the deer chasing activity has been elevated. Deer are responding hard to rattling. This is on non-pressured private land, so results may vary.

It really depends on what part of wheeler. I’ve seen them rutting closer to end of Jan near Blackwell swamp.

I am on a lease not too far south of wheeler. Bachelor groups just broke up not long ago. Have some vids of hierarchy sparring. Few scrapes, haven't seen a rub yet.
