    The rut was very slow down here as well. I saw chasing for about 2 days, that was it.

    I saw a few chasing the last week of the season. Didn't get a buck this season, I was too focused on the ducks.

    I killed a 6 point during bow season, then my biggest ever buck on Jan. 14th and then an injured spike on the last day.

    Anyone having any luck this year? I've only been able to hunt thanksgiving week due to school. What's it looking like in south Alabama?

    It's been a weird year. No grass on the fields until December has made it tough. Acorn hunting has been phenomenal!! My crew has seen plenty of bucks but no shooters. We've killed a lot of does though.

    Scrapes popping up all over the state right now, I believe the south is still a weeks out on the rut though. For EVERYONE who wants to keep up with Alabama hunting, go join these two facebook groups: Alabama Deer Hunting & The Fever. Make a post when you join so I can say hello.

    Colbert County here - hunted hard this season and saw 3 doe total; all out of bow range. Pre-season trail cams had 4 nice bucks cruising through but I never planted food plots so they didn't stay long.....
