I'm going to have a chance to hunt some in Dallas County the next week or so. The rut map shows some areas past peak and others entering peak. What are yall seeing?
This is east of the river, if that makes a difference.
TIA.

The further south the later it seems to be. East of the river is below Selma. I would be going.

Theyll chase does until there are no more does to be chased. The "peak" of the rut is over, but this is one of the best times to catch a big one trolling for the last available estrous does
And theres really not a bad time to hunt in Dallas county

I hunted that area of the state from several years. There is some good hunting still to be had between now until the close of season. Like others above, I'd go.

The younger bucks are hitting the food sources hard trying to gain the weight lost from constantly being on the go since the first of Jan. The bigger bodied and stronger bucks are still roaming looking for a doe that hasn't been bred and will come in heat again.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

In the Pleasant Hill/Minter area, We got all excited when they extended the season until February. In truth, I don't think we've killed all that many big deer after January ends, but we tend to be serious about bucks from MLK weekend until the season is over.. I'd say the "peak" of the rut is the last 2 weeks of Jan, but I'd be hunting bucks hard from MLK through the first week of Feb. None of these rules or peaks are written in stone. Would I rather hunt mature bucks in late January than early December? Sure, but I don't turn down an invitation in Dallas County any time. .

When we had our lease in Snow Hill, the peak rut started right at MLK weekend, and was done by the end of January.
