Early Rut Possible???
i was hunting opening gun season in GA yesterday and i saw some strange things. First i saw a 4 point following 3 or 4 does, and my dad saw a small deer which he guessed to be a buck with his head down following a doe. In the afternoon, i saw what appeared to be 3 does, but then one of them tried to mount the other 2 so i am guessing he was a buck. What do yall think is the normal activity or is rut going to come early

I was videoing over a food plot one eve. in mid Sept. two years ago and saw a pretty good buck chasing a doe. Classic in-and-out and all around
deal.. Didn't get film because it had gotten too dark. I figured it was an off-sequence yearling doe that was coming into estrus.
