Bucks have been sparring and fighting since the beginning of october. On opening day, Rebecca and I watched a 2.5 yo buck following a doe... about 30 yards back.... feeding right behind her... followed her everywhere she went.

I made the drive from norfolk to richmond this morning. Looks like overnight there were a few deer hit.... which means they are already starting to get pretty stupid chasing each other around. Saw two dead does and two dead bucks.... all several miles apart. Bucks were fairly small.... one basket rack and one yearling... obviously hit early this morning.

With this cold front/rain moving in tonight (thursday 10/16) today, tomorrow and saturday all ought to be pretty prime days. A buddy of mine shot two does last night down in tidewater and saw about 16 deer in total. It should just get better and better right on up til the second week of November when peak breeding starts occuring.
