RE: Dang heat in VA (bucks must be bedded down)
i got an 8 pt this morning(120 lbs dressed) in loudoun county this morning. the buck was in full rut and walking out in the open at 7:30 am. this is usually the only time of the year that this will happen. i took the deer to the local processing station and saw at least 6 bucks w/ 10 or more points w/ over 20 inch spreads. most came from loudoun and fauquier counties.
i got a real nice 8 last week during bp season. it was my best deer ever. got to love those cold temps we had last week.
