This is my first serious deer season to hunt, so I'm still learning.
I'm trying to figure out if rut has started in St. Tammany or Tangipohoa parishes.
I've got cameras in St. Tammany on private property and so far I've not seen signs that fawns have separated from their mothers nor that bucks are starting to follow the does.
In Tangipohoa I was scouting our lease last week and saw brand new scrapes and rubs in separate locations. Don't the bucks scrape and rub just before the start of rut?
Has anyone seen signs of the rut starting in either of these two parishes?
What other signs should I look for to determine when rut is about to start or is in progress?
