It seems to me that the rut has stopped here in VA. I have not seen a buck chasing a doe in the past two weeks. Two big bucks were killed last week and neither was chasing does. There were two more mature bucks hanging out in my hunting area during bow season. One of my hunting partners said that he saw one of them last week just hanging around the edge of a field. He said that the buck had no interest in the does that were in the area. I'm not sure if it is because more people are in the woods now that muzzleloader season has started? Or, do you guys think that the rut is over or winding down? At the end of bow season, I was really excited because I was seeing big deer all over the place. The weather has sure been terrible. If it is not raining that wind is blowing 35 MPH. What are you guys seeing?
