South Texas rut

Any rut activity in deep south Texas yet? Corpus to Brownsville

Was just starting last weekend. Saw some does chasing off yearlings and bucks making scrapes and a few mating.

I'm out here today. I've seen the usual activity. Doe with their yearlings. Haven't seen any rutting, although all the bucks we've seen the last month and a half have all been by themselves.

full blown rut in southern Live Oak County right now

Grosvenor- if i remember you are close to Dinero right? Man that is music to my ears was wondering when it was going to kick off. Glad ill be there bright and early tomorrow.

By the way, I'm hunting in Duval and Starr Counties c

Captain Luke- you haven't seen any rut activity yet to this point either? I am in South Live Oak county as well and was there from Friday to Tuesday and from what I saw it wasn't looking to good. Does still all with their yearlings all the nubbin bucks were flying solo though so I figured had to be on its way. Also saw a few of my 3.5 year old bucks stained up on their hocks but then they would eat corn right next to a group of does and not pay them any attention. Very weird year to say the least.

The nubbins were still with their mommas today too. I killed a cull 5 pointer two weeks ago, and his hocks were very stained though.

You kinda look like Lupio Rivera. Lol

2 weekends left for the south zone, any signs of rut still going on? I swear I never saw a real rut happen this year. very disappointed! what are yalls thoughts? could rut still be on?

In my opinion it's the absolute best time to be in the South Texas brush. They're not chasing as much, but you can still rattle them in and they're hungry.

As of last weekend the rut in Duval Co. was still present maybe not at its peak anymore, but still plenty of bucks chasing.

Frio county is still showing signs of the rut. Seeing a lot of movement of bucks

Still trickling in Webb

In eastern La Salle the first week of the year was the best time to rattle in a buck passed the peak of the rut. They are run down and still eager to find that last doe. They will come charging in if you are at the right place at the right time. I still seen mature bucks moving mid-day two days ago in Western Goliad County. Really late in the year for this area to see that.

We are right in the middle of the good stuff down here.
