  Southern third of Ms. is open until Feb. 15th. Depending on the weather, the rut usually starts the end of Jan...first of Feburary in this zone. They started this about five years ago, before the season closed right when the rut wast starting. I love it, right when deer season ends the turkeys start gobbling.

  i do my turkey scouting while i'm walking deer trails looking for sheds ..i've ran into some interesting things too.so far i've found a 5 point deer skull,,a set o matching racks from a 8 pointer,and the trail took me up to a flat on a ridge that looked like someone took a tiller plow zig-zaggin all arround ,,went on down the trail to anothe flat ,scratchins everywhere a the deer was runnin' ever-which way..lived in this spot 15 years and hunted ever since i married and mover to this county and i'd never seen these spots till i walked the trails ..so .i'm kinda gettin' ready for the whole huntinseason of 2011 by walking trails

I live in the Fl. panhandle. Deer season is in here until the end of Feb. counting primitive weapons..... As for the scouting, I saw a big hen flock and then a good deal of scratching and some nice gobbler tracks but didn't hear a single gobble this morning.
