I'm out of the country working so know how you feel. My trail cams are showing me hit and miss movement. And for all of December it has been either great or totally slow. One morning I will get blown up with photos the next will be dead. I'm flying home Wednesday so hoping to be out by the end of the week.
Good luck brother, hope you get to get out there and get you one.

overall movement has been slow. But... im still getting the occasional buck dogging a yearling doe. So never say Never
Came in late this morning. Late mz opened Saturday. Deer were all over on the drive in. Got in the stand at 7:48 cst and have seen 18 does so far.
I won't see 18 deer all season!
Been there once and seen more people than wildlife lol.
I need to kill a few. We usually kill 6-10 a year. Only been 2 killed here this year by my dad. I've killed a buck and doe but was at my other property.I won't see 18 deer all season!
Last time I was there... there was a turkey roosted over a tree that hung over the road... and you would thought it was the most amazing thing.... people parking pulling over on top of each other about wrecking... cameras flying out.... that place is crazy...
Come on man. Get that muzzleloader out lol.
Saw two really nice bucks on my way to work this morning. Second one had a doe cornered up by the highway. This particular section of highway you don't see many deer on and especially not nice bucks

Kind of slow here, but seeing some. Saw a doe and fawn yesterday afternoon, shot a coyote, and the deer hung around until nearly dark. Went for a bit this morning and saw two does. Heard a buck grunt a few times down in a willow thicket a good while before seeing those this morning. I tried calling a few times, but never saw whoever was grunting.

Just imagine hundreds of thousands of unhuntable acres. I can see not being allowed right in the middle of the yuppies with cameras. But there's tons of acreage nobody steps foot on. Why are we not allowed to hunt it. Smokey mountain national park.Last time I was there... there was a turkey roosted over a tree that hung over the road... and you would thought it was the most amazing thing.... people parking pulling over on top of each other about wrecking... cameras flying out.... that place is crazy...
I could hardly run the buck by my barn off . He was so focused on that doe.

Any activity in Dickson County? Does anyone know when the peak rut usually is in November?

In Dickson, usually peaks mid-November. Second rut, mid-December.
I'm one county over (Humphreys). Peak chasing was around Nov 17-21. Last chasing Dec. 5/6. Pretty quiet after that until the last 24 hours. Oldest bucks out checking scrapes the 10th and 11th.
