RE: VIRGINIA RUT WATCH!
Went out this morning, saw 5 does and a small six point chasing them around my treestand. He was a young buck, so i think he was just looking forsome love, the mature boys haven't quite started up yet. But they're definitely getting there.
I also put out doe in estrous on a nearby tree, the does smelled it and licked the branch, buck didn't even pay attention to it. He was gruntin up a storm though!
