I went out and sat in my stand with the camera on Sunday afternoon after church. The wife had plans with the kids and I thought it would be nice just to get in the woods and sit, even without a weapon. Hunting on Sundays is illegal here in VA. My Father-n-Law took a nice buck yesterday on another property and he showed a swolen neck still. I had at least 5 forks and 6 pointers around me all afternoon. they were tickling their antlers and intimidating each other. I did see 5 does and at least one buck I would have shot. He was a 9 pter, but pretty heavy. I think the so called 2nd rut is happening here in VA right now. We are having a cold snap this week and it has things heating up. I will be hunting on Wed. and will give another update.
