Out of 12 does I saw yesterday most still had there fawns with them. I did have a little 4 point chase 2 of the does around for a couple minutes. This is in fayette county it usually doesn't hit until the weekend after thanksgiving but i have a feeling it might be early this year.

SW TN, Hardeman/Fayette County....Not seeing much scraping activity yet and this will precede the rut. Some young bucks may be pestering does but nothing's really happening right now. Should start picking up some by the end of the week. Actual rut still probably at least 2 weeks away.

Watched a small 6pt come up to a doe yesterday morning.. the doe started acting all crazy.. running big circles around the 6pt.. he pretty much ignored her and was more interested in munching on some ear corn..lol.. she eventually just ran off..

To add, a member of our club killed a magnum 145" 5.5 yr old Sunday morning in Fayette County. The buck was traveling alone, his tarsal glands were not wet/stained and he didn't smell like a rutting buck. In my opinion, he showed no signs of rutting.

Hardin County. Saw 43 does this weekend all just feeding. Saw 2 spikes cruising. I expect sometime in the next two weeks it should get good if it doesnt get too warm.

To early for any breeding activity,
They may be chasing and staging but it will be at least a couple weeks before the actual Rut.

Agreed... Had one of our kids shoot a 2.5yr old running with does. Smelled tarsals, nothing. As stated before, young ones being crazy kids, big boys will get er done in a week or 2 depending on weather.
