Typical trickle rut here in Rutherford. I have a group of 4 does (I think, one may be a BB) that disappeared in early Nov. They came back around 2nd weekend of ML and have been together every time I see them. Have had another small doe with two fawns show up. Also on that weekend my resident 2 year old 7 pt. was with a doe in the food plot running off spikes and 3 pointers to keep her with him. they went back to the property behind me and he came back a couple of days later
However starting the opening weekend of Gun random bucks showed up and pics showed them standing within close proximity of does. Those bucks continued to show up until around Thanksgiving and then disappeared again. I got a daytime pic of the bigger 9 pt on 11/22. He disappeared after that appearance. He was alone though. Saw a smaller buck with a doe on 11/24.
like I said, these does are not on the same cycle, so it just kinda trickles in. I generally see a chase or two in Nov. then some more in Dec. Then I see absolute giants that I have never seen before in January with fawns...
