Chasing usually doesn't start until Christmas / New Years. Our deer are in the lull between opening week and the rut, as they do every year. Mostly nocturnal movement. Still seeing mature bucks together some, with light sparring.
Anyone seeing much activity in the area?

Well I'm about 20 miles north of that but it's mostly nocturnal up there. Lot of turkey action the last few days but by the time anything comes on the plot just before close of shooting time I couldn't see it if I wanted to shoot it.

We are about 10 miles south of Spillman. Like you seeing some bucks together. So far having a better than average year. Last week fella killed a 5 point went 186 lbs. Several healthy does have been taken. I passed on two does, shoulda taken the first on. Try again this week.

I passed on two early in the season - wishing I hadn't at this point. But I get tons of night time action and the occasional 9 AM on a Monday when no one is on the lease action.

Driving to Clinton today and saw a REAL good buck chasing a doe about 4:30 in a wide open field. We were about 6 miles south on plank road. Hope this helps.

There are several gene pools in the deer herds in that area. We have some bucks that wont rut until late Jan. I've seen others with dark hocks in late Nov. Just gotta get out there.

They were starting to chase weekend before last in Norwood. Friend has place in Jackson, he had a young buck chasing doe Tuesday in his food plot. But I’d be on stand right now.

Anyone hunting Laurel Hill area of West Fel with a stud 11 pt on camera is gonna be sad. Ended up as toad kill tonight. Was close enough to my place he could have wondered by me during the rut. I hate the amount of deer this highway claims each year
