It's about 10 miles from Stevenson to Orme.

Y'all think genetics can't make it 10 miles in 60 years?

The whole rut map discussion in this area is a bunch of worthless crap. It's like we are discussing this with a "Wildlife Biologist" with a degree from Auburn......or something.

I'll be there hunting the rut from now until probably the 11th then head back to flat ground.

Well Goat, this is a rarity , I agree . I don't like disinformation . That's what I've been sayin' , the genetics from the TN releases are only 10-12 miles North must be an influence up in that pocket of North Jackson . CNC blows those off and credits only native deer , that may not have even existed up that direction. And as far as the rut and genetics , understanding the big picture in Jackson Co will make yer head hurt. No keyboard cowboy from LA , with visions of sugar plumbs dancing in his head , is gonna solve it either. Once again , insert the Raw Hide method and just go huntin' !

Yall got me so confused I am sitting in a shooter house that's rocking. It's like Christmas I don't want to miss it. Beavers be flooding all of Jackson County if we don't settle this . Them 2 today made 68 and I don't even no when they rut

I noticed the state checking a lot of backwater last week. Saw a trapper yesterday. There’s water in places I’ve never seen before from beavers in Jones and Widows Creek.

Those native beavers or restocked , it matters ya know ?

I just work for the county and their budget ain't big. Duck hunters and people wanting land dried up gives me a little spending money

If you seen somebody there on 69 on that little cut off by the railroad track it was me
