rut definatly has not come and gone. In my experiences around south alabama the best time to hunt is about january 20th, but we commonly see bucks chasing as late as march, especially in areas with skewed ratios.

I am in a new area this year, and I was just suprised to still see these deer together. My ratio is very balanced so i expect alot of competion bettwenn bucks. I have never experienced rut in an area with a balanced herd
