I am a bowhunter in central Virginia. The rut is just beginning to start here. I have been seeing some scrapes and rub-lines along fence rows the last few days. I had a young buck come in to some rattling and grunting this morning. Bucks were still running together last week whereas this week they are not. The rut ought to be in be full swing here in about 10-12 more days. Good luck.
