This week on Rut Fresh, we're covering the first week of December with updates from three completely different whitetail worlds. Michael Perry of 18 Outdoors breaks down the ramping Southern rut in Alabama, where daylight activity is just starting to climb and winter food sources are becoming key. Reese Johnson checks in from Kentucky, sharing how the post-rut lull is shifting deer toward predictable food patterns and what hunters can expect as cold weather settles in. Then Alex Comstock of Whitetail DNA gives a Minnesota perspective, where late-rut behavior overlaps with harsh conditions and target bucks begin locking into survival mode.
