I found the first scrape of this season last Thursday. Still was being worked yesterday. Haven't seen any others though. Last year it was the week before Christmas before I saw the first one so I am hoping they are getting started a little earlier this year.

I saw three young bucks (4pt, 6pt, and spike) together in Notasulga last weekend. The pre-rut there has typically been late December with the rut in full-swing by the 2nd week of January, in my experience anyways.

Saw several scrapes today and four small bucks, all with dark tarsals.

Lee County: Went yesterday saw nothing. Saw 3 deer this entire season and they were opening day of bow season. Can't figure it.

We went out yesterday morning. Didn't see anything but when we got back to the trucks there was a fresh set of buck tracks that walked 10 yds in front on my truck!
Also, I found our first scrape of the season. After an hour getting sea sick in a tree due to the wind, I got down and scouted/ stalked. During one of the stops, I got such a strong whiff of musk that I turned around expecting to see a buck! There was a FRESH scrape with both a doe and a buck track in it. Yup, I set a camera over that one and can't wait to see who's trip-trapping on my bridge!

Got pics of bucks in groups and making scrapes at the same time. What stage of the rut is that?
