I see a lot of topics all over TX, but not a lot on South TX. So I figured I would start one to keep track with South Texas (south of I-10 to the border of Mexico).
How's it looking? I'm headed down this Thursday-Sunday, hoping that my roads have dried up, 2 weeks ago the 4 wheeler barely made it to the stand and I scared all the deer off with the ATV. I hear there is a bit of a pre rut going on or some seeking and chasing?
Any updates? Did we get much rain down there since 2 weeks ago? Please post your county with your report/update.
Thanks!

I'll be going down to cotulla this weekend hope to see them chasing. Not sure what's going on down there since I haven't been back since opening weekend. Anybody know if the rut is in full swing?

Frio county is not in the rut yet. We are seeing a little activity with some bucks doing a little chasing. They are mostly interested in the corn and oats though. That will change shortly. I have only seen one buck with a busted point so far, I'm sure that will change too.

I hunted Carrizo Springs this past week and saw that the young bucks are chasing, but the doe aren't interested. Bucks are in bachelor groups, going to hunt all week after Christmas, I think that will be prime time!

Hunt Duval Co.
Have seen very minimal interest in the ladies. A spike here or there will chase a doe around a sec but then back to eating.
Few of the bucks have been seen sparing. Bachelor groups have not completely broken up but are beginning to. Have noticed a few busted tines. Would expect the rut to start in a week and really pick up in a 2-3 weeks.
It's hell eatin em live

Been hunting Falfurrias for about 8 years. Never see any rut activity before Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend we had bucks chasing the entire weekend and this past Friday a guest took a 140" 10pt that was running a doe. Guessing with all the rain and everything being so green, a bunch of healthy doe's came in early.

Just returned from NE Webb County. Lots of nubbin' bucks alone now so their Mommas are kicking them off. Lots of rubs and scrapes and older bucks starting to show up around the does, but no chasing seen, yet. Deer movement still not great. Should get pretty heated around and after Xmas. Full moon on Xmas.

Just returned from NW Webb County. Lots of nubbin' bucks alone now so their Mommas are kicking them off. Lots of rubs and scrapes and older bucks starting to show up around the does, but no chasing seen, yet. Deer movement still not great. Should get pretty heated around and after Xmas. Full moon on Xmas. My folks were down for the weekend in southern Duval Co. This is what they reported as well. New bucks showing up every day.
