MS Rut Report

Haven't really noticed here. I'm in Gunnison(sp). Dad killed a buck yesterday. He didn't seem like he was all in the heat of the rut or anything. Neck wasn't swollen or anything. I've seen tons of does without any bucks after them. Not really sure what else to go by.

I did however see 3 huge bucks driving the levee today. Each one if them was with 3-5 does and a couple small bucks so I could be wrong. I've never been so tempted to break the law in my life

Bump for morning crew

Its happening in Claiborne County. Doesnt seem to be many receptive does so looks like it will be drawn out for a while though.

Yeah that's about right, figured with the weather staying cold it might have bumped up a little. I'll still give it hell this weekend

I will be in Woodville until Monday. Should start chasing soon

I've seen a few rubs and scrapes, a couple young bucks pushing some does but that's about it

Heard of some chasing going on by St. Catherine. Leaving for Woodville Sunday, and staying for the entire week.

hookings and a few scrapes in Ft. Adams. 2 bucks killed Monday. Tuesday morning I saw a buck about 4 seconds behind a doe. both walking at a steady pace. It is still a little early.

Taking my 8 y/o in the stand with me today and tomorrow. Hopefully her and I will be doing this

I'm forty miles south of Jackson. I've been seeing a few young bucks making scrapes everywhere and swollen necks, but no real full-fledged chasing. I think it will peak around the normal first week of January.
