3 bucks killed in Notasulga, AL last night. None by me, because I was on the only field that was extinct of deer. One was a 10pt, and two 8pts. All of them had super dark tarsals and stank.

Killed a 8pt Saturday in Chambers county, also has super dark Tarsals and stank badly, heard a lot of grunting Sat morning.

In the woods this evening scouting!!, seen a lot of older scrapes and a dozen or so rubs that looked fresh. I'm around Stanton area on NF. Seen several does that gave me the blow.

At our place in Chambers near Cusseta we are seeing plenty of young bucks cruising. There are still some bachelor groups.

Anyone know what they are doing in area around where Tallapoosa, Chambers, Randolph counties meet?

saw bucks all weekend cruzing, members saw bucks all weekend cruzing, Watched a young 8 make a scrape and then killed a big 8 making scrapes and rubs sunday afternoon in SE butler county line.. getting close, I'm thinking after this front comes through on Thursday or Friday it will bust loose

Mistook a spike for a doe yesterday in Tuskegee National Forest at 11:15 with the bow from 45 yards. Stunk and had stained tarsals, I would guess the big boys are going to be getting close in Macon county soon.

Saw a lot of spikes last week in Wilcox County. No big boys yet.
Our Does have seemed to change their travel patterns also.
Not sure what that means.

Saw a small buck chasing yesterday in Blount County

Bibb county rutt should be over but I'm still seeing scrapes being used. Buck to doe ratio is not close so I'm sure breeding still going on. Most buck activity at night. Our rutt was poor at best on club.

Finally saw the first good sign of rutting activity in Autauga county last evening...had a 3.5 yo 8 point come in checking scrapes and seeking with his nose on the ground...It appears to be starting a week or so late this year.

Marengo County anyone? I see rubs and scrapes but no chasing at all around Dayton

What about Clarke County? Anybody have any reports or sightings? I hunt in between Grove Hill & Thomasville. Thanks.

any word on St Clair co?

I'll let you know next Thursday.

We are just inside perry co line rut usually peaks about Jan 1st, but they normally start scraping and rubbing and cruising now looking for the next ready batch of does. Hunted yesterday and saw best sign (big rubs) and new scrapes. Watched 4 bucks harass does all afternoon and all 4 worked scrapes. This time of year can be dead or wide open depending on if a hot doe is near your location.

Excellent thread.... all deer of both sexes have been abducted by aliens in Dekalb co.

Anybody got anything on lower Choctaw County?

My buddy hunts around gilberttown said his club killed 3 good bucks chasing does since Tuesday

Pelham Al, shelby co. Just had a broke 4 and a 16" wide six point cruise through the woods behind the house. First bucks I have seen behind the house all year. Usually an indication of a hot female close by.
