In Georgia, this week is normally the start of the rut. Of course, depending on what part of the state you live in it can vary by 2 weeks or more, but for the majority of the state now is the time to be in the field. Scouting and pre-season planning are important and should never be overlooked, but a lot of that gets tossed out the window over the next two weeks. If you are looking to put some meat in the freezer, be in the woods the next two weeks.
