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.

Young bucks scraping and chasing in the bessemer/mccalla area. Only heard of one deer older than 2.5's have been seen chasing. Older bucks are still with other bucks.

Winston Co. Young bucks chasing, found 80-100 scrapes last Thursday and Friday had a buck come to doe pee Friday. My best friend killed a mature buck chasing in this exact same place a year ago from this past Thursday. Pretty consistent year to year!

Where I hunt in St Clair the bucks are still grouped together. Seeing no sign.

In Marshall County they are still in the smaller 2 to 3 groups except, the larger bucks are in that vanishing stage until Christmas probably. Predict to be cold winter, don't skip that 10-2 window.
