Went out the morning of the 1st with the smokepole in Culpepper county along the Rappahanock River. Had three deer( i believe all does) come up to about 30 yards from me. I couldn't see them because it was 6:50am but I could hear them walking around. The only reason I know there was three of them was when they winded me I saw three tails flagged getting the heck out of there. Around 8:30am had a small spike walk by me along the river bottom. He probably wieghed 80 pounds and had 2" spikes. Didn't even think about putting my gunup on him. I didn't get to hunt the evening because other plans but starting on the 7th I will be off of work for the rest of the month. Sometimes you gotta love the federal gov't!!! Good luck to everyone.
