I've seen some rut action the past few weeks in the northern shenandoah valley. Bucks chasing does, some scrapes. No shooters, but thats the usual where I hunt. A few buddies in Haymarket area said chasing was going big time the first week of gun. They killed a few nice ones hot on does. Last week in WV where I hunt (hour west), they were chasing and lots of scrapes... until the big snow came. After that I'm not sure what was going on. Everything changed overnight.
