I have a place in Northern Wilson County that is about 20 miles south of Seguin. First, where are we with the rut? And secondly, I was seeing a large number of deer through October into early November, but for the last two to three weeks the numbers have dropped a lot. I had them coming in to two feeders and cleaning up all the corn. Hundreds of pics off the trail cams. Now there is all kinds of corn left each day and only a few pics. What is going on?

So I’m finally seeing some deer movement. Guess it helps to go to the field every now and then. We, too, are at the end of the rut in Bell County, but still have movement. Fixin’ to be coyote hunting time.

The peak of the rut in your area is winding down. However, there are still reports of bucks rutting in Central Texas and bucks will continue to breed does that are not yet bred. In addition, doe fawns will come into estrus at about 7 months of age, which will be in December and January. So you may have missed the peak, but it is still on. Good luck!

I live in Travis County. It’s December 4th, is the rut still on, and if so how much longer will it go?

After I talked to you I saw a big buck chasing 8 to 15 does. They were running crazy everywhere I couldnt get a count of them cause he was running em crazy. 65 yds from the stand. I shot a hog after dark and …. well another long story involving Cottle Co. Sherrifs Dept. I am free and never saw cuffs. I think they thought I was tresspassing and shining deer. I was not. I will tell you more later.
