I hunted Quantico today Nov 5th Saturday and I saw 4 deer two of which where shooter bucks they are "not" rutting just yet the cold weather defiantly has them moving but they are not rutting in quantico I have talked to several guys and they also said the same thing that the cold weather has then up moving but the does are still not ready yet this will be the first time in my hunting career that I see the rut in mid Novmber normally on Quantico it's the first week on Nov chasing this year it's setting up to be borderline shotgun season which is great but stressful becuase I keep waiting for it to pop and it's not I had 3 does comes by and they where not even worried they where focused on food "acorns" and the two big bucks came by before the does and tried to call to them and they just ignored it and they never chased the does I definetly think we are entering the "seeking" phase but not chasing yet . Driving me nuts I talked to a guy that killed a 13 pointer on Monday and he said the buck he killed was not rutting but looked to be starting phases he had does underneath his stand and the big buck came to investigate
