Hey guys, I am new to the forum. Well here in Northern Virginia today, I was walking into to set up and about 100 yards from where I was gonna set up, I spotted 5 bucks feeding together on a flat area on a hill. 2 spikes, 2- 4 pointers,and one 6-8 pointer. It was crazy. I got within 40 yards of them, watched them for 10 minutes or so, only one looked like a shooter......after about 10 minutes, one of the spikes got down wind of me and they were off. For all the years I have hunted in this area, I have never seen 5 bucks feeding together this late in October..it is supposed to be the pre-rut! Anyways, I have also noted that the aggressive rubs on the trees aren't there as well...maybe the pre-rut is a little late? What do you all think?
