Still On

[R&T Farm]

In the past couple days I've caught bucks chasing does on camera. Yesterday I had a huge buck walking through behind the house and he didn't seem to care when I opened the door. He was fixed on a doe that had just walked through.

I thought the rut was over. I've only owned my farm for a short time so I'm new to hunting in Lincoln County. When does the rut usually shut down?

The rut goes on for months. Sure there is a peak time but if there's a hot doe, bucks will know and chase.

That's a difficult question time wise. It's done when the last doe has been bread. Someone just posted a fawn with spots. Go back about 5 months and that's when it was conceived. I think the major rut is over middle of November. Good luck.

This is 3rd rut sequence on my place. I killed a nice buck on Dec 28 of 2019 following 2 does.

Saw a buck trailing a doe yesterday on I-24 right at The Avenue exit in Murfreesboro around 10:30 am.

Got bucks cruising still and have seen pretty good chasing again at my house (fayette county)
Pretty sure I had a hot doe run thru Christmas Day after she came through had 5 bucks running through within minutes

I saw one trailing a doe. Of course, it was in the middle of the night under the full moon last night.

There is not a county in this whole state where the "rut" is over. Young yearling does grouped up now and fixin to cycle for their first time, along with any older does still not bred. Most of the best bucks here in these mountains, get killed these last 2 weeks. A good many of them, have never been on anyone's "camera"

I saw a pretty good buck a few years ago chasing a doe, in the middle of February.

We have multiple bucks bunched back up. Not uncommon for us this time of year. Our 2nd rut seems to hit around the 15ish of December.

Yearlings will come to sexual maturity and cycle in January.
