Laurens County Rut

My folks live off of 19 (rock springs)... We go there every year for Thanksgiving. Is the rut winding down then? My folks only own 10 acres and room for one stand but it is surrounded by some larger tracts. We don't usually see much. I'd really like to find some land to hunt just for a couple of days that week with my daughter but that's easier said than done.

I own a 90 acre tract off of rock springs road (gotta go through that new subdivision behind hardens grocery to get there) .... i dont there often but ive never seen many deer there....there are some hogs...but a good bit of turkeys...also have a problem with poachers/people driving in that subdivision and shining or shooting turkeys out the truck because there is only about 5 houses built out of 100 + lots out there....but the rut out there shoudl be in FULL swing!

man we have the same problem. i found a blue barrel turned over on the side of a dirt road by our property line and it had 2-3 carcasses in it. 200 yards away there was a shot hog. and then right down from that was just another full body deer with the horns cut off. small body at least!! but dang ya know!!
Possibly the same blue barrel I kicked into the ditch this am just up from Greg couey rd.

Well... If you ever need any help posting it or doing any work out there, I'd be more than happy to trade some work for a chance to hunt for a day or two... If you're interested, shoot me a PM. I'll be in town Wed of thanksgiving week...:cheers:
