Franklin County

[Marlin44]

I am in Franklin county just outside the Hart county line. Acorns are falling and the deer are using them. Also hitting my food plots hard and with no rain they are eating them to the dirt. Seeing doe's and small bucks, Watch a older spike ( must be 2.5 yrs old, may harvest him later in the season) chase 4 doe's around the food plots for an hour Saturday. Fun to watch and listen to him grunt. Ayone else with any news from Franklin or Hart county?

I am in Hart County, Reed Creek area. Rock Springs Rd to be exact. I'm not seeing much as far as action. I know they are there, but I think I have pressured them into moving a lot at night.

Not much action on my place in Franklin either. Have seen a few late in the evening when it was to dark to shoot. All my activity on the cameras are at night. 9pm, 12am, 3am and just before light at 6am. Seems like they are around every 3 hrs until the sun comes up.

carnesville

I hunt in Carnesville, and the activity has been pitiful. I got to hunt about 8 times (4 mornings, 4 afternoons) this past week. I saw a grand total of 6 deer. All in the mornings around 9AM. I did have a decent 8 point and a 4 point come through cruising this morning at 9. All my cameras have deer moving after dark in the 12-3AM range. Acorns everywhere so its hard to target where they will be. Good luck.

Anybody been seeing any rut activity? We have permission to hunt 50 acres but have not been this year. When do they start chasing does up that way? Thanks for any advise.

Saw several bucks chasing does Wednesday morning in Hart County.

The week before Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving is when I have always seen peak rutting activity. This year though, I couldn't call it. Nothing seems to be regular due to the weather. I have yet to see a scrape on the ground. I do have small bucks on the camera now that are trailing does so maybe it is getting ready to break.

I hunt 70 acres in Hart County and have yet to see a scrape as well. Plenty of rubs...but no scrapes. Watched a doe and fawn creep through Sunday morning in the rain and waited patiently for a buck to be following her, but no dice.

Yesterday in hart county i saw a doe early mornin who was checkin behind her constantly, never saw the buck. Later in the day saw a small buck runnin down the road, actin all crazy.

Hunted in Franklin County, Carnesville last Thursday and Friday. Thursday I saw a total of 10 deer that morning, the 1st one being a decent 8 that came in to rattling grunt sequence.
Hunted the same stand Friday and didn't see anything.

Haven't seen a scrape or rub yet.
Y'all be careful out there, them woods are dry. Scary how dry.
Good luck

It picked up for me out in the Reed Creek area of Hartwell the past couple days. Had 2 different bucks come in to check out tending grunts sequences.

After only seeing deer a few times all season so far, I've saw deer 3 straight hunts. Still haven't saw a scrape however. Plenty of rubs.

I'm not far from Reed Creek, I'm in Mt Olivet. I've had pawed spots and rubs for a while but only in real thick brush.
