Signs of an early rut?

Will Choctaw County have an earlier rut this hunting season? Traditionally, our rut begins in earnest around the 15th of January and continues through February.

Based upon several deer that were killed this past weekend, several bucks were taken that had swollen necks and that "smell" that all hunters know as the one of the signs that the big show is about to begin.

If you don't have plans for New Year's, you might want to consider spending time with us. I don't think the bucks will know that it is a holiday!
