Anybody hunting in the eastern panhandle of WV? If so what is the deer movement like right now.

Are there lots of acorns in the mountains?

Any signs of pre-rut, rut in full effect?

Any nice bucks killed in the Morgan/ Berkeley County area this year?

Heading out there in two weeks to do our yearly family rifle hunt and havent had a chance to get out there this year with everything going this year.


Thanks

Up in Grant County the acorns are really heavy up this way. I haven't been up on the mountain to check my cameras in about 2 weeks now but i'm pretty sure that within the next week or so the rut is gonna be wide open. Hope It helps ya out a little bit.

Thank you for the update, I am from WV and wish I could come back but moved to MD for job and now wife wont go back, she likes it here and I hate it.

Cant wait to get back to the mountain mama next week!!

I was seperated from my home for 4 years because my wife (who is from NC) didn't like it. But i got lucky and she left so i'm back up here and hunting/fishing without any nagging or "you love your bow more than me" conversations. Ahhhhhh, life is good!

Just got back Friday. Got a doe. Lots of acorns, but they are only heavy in certain areas. Missed the biggest deer I ever saw down there the first day. I did not know the guy, but a big ten was taken the first day where I was at. Wednesday I saw a really nice one but no shot. I believe they were still in rut a little, not chasing, but still looking around.

Nice buck RR!
We took 2 about like that last week, and a pile of does on the other side of romney. What gun is that? I know you like long range....how far?
