I have been hunting since the opener Oct. 18 here in WV. I was not seeing any activity until yesterday. I moved in even closer today. I was confused because the areas that I was hunting had always produced. This evening I finally nailed their pattern. I tried an area that I had been looking over never thinking they would be there. I found myself sourrounded by deer this evening. They were just moving around me. They had came in a wave from the ridge opposite the one I was hunting and when I was moving out very slow towards the bottoms I found myself in the middle of them coming up on my side. I never got a shot and instead of blowing the setup I just stayed still till about 1 hour after dark and slowly moved out. As far as hearing and knowing anything, I didn' t seem to bump any on the way out and never was winded throughout the evening. One problem, the rut is getting ready to hit and I was wanting to know about how long I could expect the deer to continue in this present pattern. I need to know so I can get all the time in there I can put before they change up on me. Thanks
