6.5cm with 135 grain berger classic hunter. It tore a hell of a hole out the neckNice buck. Pretty big hole in him. What did you shoot him with?
I've saw plenty of yearling bucks chasing but mature bucks chasingDeer season has been slow in GA this year. Deer are out and about, but I guess due to the huge population bucks aren't chasing as hard.
That's an awesome buck. We have a couple on the property I hunt build similarly in central Georgia. They are crafty though. Doubt I'll get a shot.
Yea it will vary a couple weeks just by going north or south by 1 county. Definitely no rhyme or reasonNice buck! I live in North Alabama and most of our deer rut late Jan/early Feb. I had never hear of such a thing before moving here. It's also kind of weird because deer seem to rut just whenever. I've heard that's because our state brought in deer in the 70s and we ended up with a few different species. Interesting that you are fairly close and have already had your rut.
I'm only about 40min from the NC line. It normally hits hard here the week of Thanksgiving or sometimes the week before, According to weather .Ours hit hard mid November in NC. We are lucky that a little more north so cold snaps set them off well
