Rut Map

Rut is starting

Rut is starting in Hogansville, Troup co. Nov-7-2013. No chasing Monday/Tuesday. But a few Thursday morn were pushing. Thursday evening bucks are chasing hard and tending doe's. Time to be in the woods. It's happening. :flag:
 
There are several things going on here. First, the rut is the rut, it is genetic...but we have a lot of variety in our genetics, so ruts can be sporadic given the mix of genetics for a specific area. Next is when we perceive the rut. I hunt a lot around the end of October (because that is when I can get a kitchen pass), so I see most of my activity in that time period...but that is because I spend the most time in the woods around then. Other than that, I just hunt when I can and sometimes I get lucky!

Pretty spot on for Cherokee County. Nov 15t, 16th, 17th I was in the woods and saw a ton of rut activity. Even saw a massive 4 1/2 yr old 10 pt chasing a doe. Too bad I only had my bow...grrr

Edit: Buck in my avatar actually, there is still time!
