Default RE: Puzzled By A Lack Of Rut Activity Here In WV!!

I hunted up in Elkins a couple weeks ago. saw a few rubs, but nothing major. Full moon kept deer movement down to late in the evenings. I have really found that the "chase phase" starts around mid november, just before the Rifle season opens up. Here in Virgina I have seen several good rub lines, but no scrapes. Had a nice buck come into 25 yards last night, but it was so thick I couldn't get a shot. I grunted at him, and used the "can" bleat call. he stopped both times but really didn't seem intrested. I am off the week after next so it's looking like I may have picked a good week?
