The Nearing Rut

The yearly rut for whitetail's in Mississippi is creeping closer and closer.  The rut here in central Mississippi is usually around the end of December.  Every deer hunter knows this is the time of year that your chances of killing the buck of a lifetime increase by a lot.  I can not wait for this semester to be over and be in full force hunting mode.  This time of year is my favorite and I have high hopes of getting my biggest buck yet.  On the other side, we are still putting the smack down on the does.  We killed 5 more does at out place on the big black river this past weekend.  That bumped  us up to 20 does so far.  We just need 10 more to meet our 30 doe quota for the year.  Hopefully we will reach the 30 before rut hits so we can focus strictly on buck hunting.  Best of luck to everyone! Go get in the stand whenever possible.
