Default RE: VIRGINIA RUT WATCH!

I still think we are atleast a week away from primetime. Of course, every phase of the rut overlaps the other two. Still, we are a week and a half away from the rutting moon and three days or so, either side of this moon is when we will really begin to see the action heat up. Again, we are going to see rutting activity now, we have all stated this, but I cannot stress enough how important it is to be patient during this time. Herds are extremely vulnerable to pressure now being a month into the season becoming to aggressive to early can turn a big boy nocturnal in a heartbeat. Again, this is my strategy and am by no means trying to you all how to hunt. It's just with the rutting moon falling later this year than usual makes it easy to believe the hot to trot rut has begun, when it hasn't.

So to conclude my strategy, as I stated in an early post is going to be patient for the rest of this week and into early next week. However, the middle of the next week when I expect to the bucks to turn up the heat, as will I
