Here in Northern Va. the rut has just wound down, although I did grunt in a 4 point Saturday but decided not to take it because I took a 4 on Monday of last week. He came to a bleat (estrous) followed by aggressive grunts, he ran at me from about 75 to 100 yard away, he was ready, but all the chasing seems to have stopped here, all the scrapes have been closed for over a week, the scrapes had closed up and bucks were actively persueing does but that seems to have come to a crawl also. hit it again in about 22 days now. ~Ben
