Have hunted just east of Collierville last 3 days. Seeing a bunch of young bucks running together and a few does still grouped. One shooter but no shot.

I don't know if it is the rut, but I am seeing a lot more movement.

I think they've been breeding since mid November.
I hunt not too far from you. They were chasing last weekend. Movement of small bucks and does has gone up on cameras as well.

North of Jackson, primary rut is over.
Sunday morning i saw close to 20 deer , does grouped up and small spikes pestering a few of them all morning. Hardeman county. Dad shot a 8 that was stinking pretty good Saturday morning
As of 11/24: Older does have rejoined yearling deer feeding in food plots on our farm in NE Carroll County. Buck nocturnal activity at scrape sites has increased over the last three days.

Due to the drought and lack of acorns, our rut was so late that the southern end of my property has just come off lockdown as of opening weekend of gun, and bucks were back on scrapes. The northern half was still on lockdown. We heard some chases in the fog the two mornings of opening weekend, but couldn't see them.
