Seeing buck sign in NGa?

[dawgvet]

I’m in Cherokee County and was wondering if anyone is seeing much Buck sign yet? Seems I’m seeing fewer runs and scrapes so far. Any input as to what y’all are seeing?

 

[Full Draw McGraw]

Very little so far where i hunt (ONF area). I have never really found much buck sign in September anyway.

Also in Cherokee and I’ve been hitting a bunch of different corp properties and WMAs, but haven’t seen the first fresh rub or scrape. I’m really struggling to find acorns too. I’ve got two cams to put out, but like yesterday, couldn’t really find a place that said “put one here”.

Live in Cherokee hunt in Floyd. Nothing at all in Floyd. I have small bucks still in velvet as of this past Saturday. Very strange for out there based on 7 years of pictures.

I've got a buck still in velvet as of last weekend. I can't recall ever seeing one this late.

Haven’t found a fresh rub as yet, property borders the ONF.

Poor buck deer can’t take a break.

Found rubs and scrapes like normal since opening of the season. Not alot this time of year but they usually make some as soon as the velvet comes off

I haven't found a single rub or scrape on my place in Oglethorpe county either. Really odd.

Been seeing horned trees since velvet came off, just starting to see scrapes open up n the last few days

No sir, neither can I. Very strange.

Have not seen anything in Paulding

No buck signs at Coopers Creek... the mast seems healthy. It seems also more brown acorns are on the ground. Hogs have been rooting around Duncan Ridge.

No scrapes yet in Paulding but definitely rubbed trees. I had a buck in video wearing out a tree.

I just hunted Friday evening through Sunday morning and saw a grand total of one rub. I did make a mock scrape in one spot so we'll see if that takes off.

Watched this buck thrash trees, freshen up scrapes for about 30 minutes this am..
Other bucks we’re doing the same.
Seeing a good bit of sign right now in Franklin / hart / elbert.
All within last 10 days

Multiple scrapes on ground in Bartow. Cameras recording bucks and does in those areas doing their deer behaviors - scraping, leaf/branch chewing/scenting, following, grunting. Will try to get some pics/vids posted soon.

Interesting. I was down in Washington County last week. Saw one scrape and no rubs. Very unusual for this time of year. Normally by the first of October, they are everywhere.

Hunted this morning, in Oglethorpe county and found several scraps beneath overhanging limbs that didn't exist on Monday. Seems a few are becoming active. I bet if we get the forecasted rain, it really picks up by the weekend.

Pulled some pics.

Sept 26 first buck making / freshening scrape on camera - I put cam here because I saw a scrape here and wanted to see what I might capture. Then just more and more activity with bucks and does here.
