The rut has began in north west Walthall county, much earlier than I remember in the past, I was bitching about the heat and bugs this am but about 9:00 a lone doe came through acting weird, and 10 minutes later a nice big body (205#) 7 point (which I thought was an 8) came nose to ground, , get out there boys

I agree on the early part. We are at least a week early here in Jefferson County.
I can absolutely confirm we did have two ruts last year though. Scrapes everywhere between 12-29 and 1-3-21. It was full moon that week. Cell cameras show fresh fawns sucking the doe's tit at a feeder on July 20th. Gestation period for a whitetail is 201 days. July 20,2021 was the 201sy day of the year.
On January 17,2021, I watched the largest buck I've ever seen in the southern U.S. chase a doe around a cutover for over an hour. Unfortunately for me, I knew he was here. I set up in the woods that morning over an hour before daylight with my 20GA slug rifle. The wind changed unexpectedly and I decided to get into the cutover box. I am dialed in on a gnat's arse at 125 with the 20GA. It has 17 deer shots and 17 kills to date. None of them have taken another step. The best shot I had was at 245 yards after watching him for what seemed to be forever. I missed him three times that sit. I'm still sick about it.
We had fresh fawns with does August 18th-20th on camera. This is the best pic I have of him before that hunt.
