they are rutting right now in taylor county. up around cedartown did not see much sign. houston county are just starting to come in

Not quite 2 weeks ago we saw an 8pt chasing doesall over a field in Harris co. A while later a 4 pt and then a spike although not nearly as aggressive as the big boy. I believe the prime time will be this weekend and/or the first of the week

I can attest to "a bad feeling it's going to be a week earlier"... i was out this past weekend in Upson county and just about got ran over by two does and a 4 point on Sunday morning while I was walking out of the woods. Seriously, they came within about 10 feet of me... FEET, not yards. Never even cared that I was standing there. The buck, however, stopped with that "oh sh$$" look on his face, started at me for about 30 seconds... then bolted in the opposite direction. I could have reached out with a stick and poked him with it.

Cheers!
