I've been hunting firearm 5 mornings and have seen nothing. I've heard game passing through in the dark but that is it.

During archery I saw 2 hogs , 3 bucks and 1 doe. I'm doing most of my hunting in the bayheads. There is nearly no water so bayheads are much easier to scout. I'm mostly hunting the Powder Grade area. I've only seen one little grass snake. I've seen no other hunters when hunting.
I plan to catch crappie at Tenoroc these next few Sat..maybe get a few squirrels in the Green Swamp.. I'm off for 2 weeks in Dec. during the Florida rut. I will hunt hard those 2 weeks. I'm thinking the rut is in late Dec. Can someone help me out on that one?? Does late Dec. sound about right??
Thanks
