RE: VIRGINIA RUT WATCH!
Hunted Friday and Saturday all day. Friday I saw 9 bucks and one doe. the doe was in heat, doing the whole squating thing and all. The main buck that was with her was a giant, unfortuantly the property i hunt is bow only and i could not get a clean shot, came with in 50 yards and bedded down with her for about an hour, all the other bucks came in looking at her, but quickly took a hike when they saw him. I passed up a chance at a 140" 8 point hoping this deer would get up, never came my way, sick to my stomach is the best way to describe it. My dad shoot a nice one saturday on his farm chasing a doe, i saw one doe saturday that was it.
My friend gave me a report this morning from one of our properties, he had a hot doe, and 5 bucks under him all morning, two of the bucks were fighting pretty aggressivly. He said it looks like there rutting good this morning, 8 point came in with head down on rope looking for does, didnt pay attention to anything.
Id say its on boys!! if your not seeing them thats cause there holding up in the thick stuff with the doe's
