RE: West Virginia Rut?
I have been hunting every day since November 1st here in McDowell County and the rut is just gettting started here. The does still have not come in heat and the bucks are still putting out scrapes. I have saw several small bucks chasing around does but the big bucks are still nocturnal. However, today my friend saw 3 bucks during daylight cruizing for does and my dad killed a nice 8 point yesterday that was cruizing for does. So next week should be great with the peak of the rut hitting next weekend through Thanksgiving.
