Well I finally went a week without hunting due to family being in town, and my hunting lease being about 1.5 hours away. However, I will be out on Thursday for a nice temperature drop in NoVA.

So what is the status of the rut?

Are the bucks locked down or are you still seeing decent movement?

Would you guys say this is a "slow rut" year?

I personally have seen about 1/4 the number of deer this year as compared to last year. I also haven't seen a lot of rut activity yet, although I know others have.
