Delaware muzzleloader
How has the hunting been in DE? What are the deer doing? Are the bucks showing any pre-rut? I am unable to hunt because I am TDY to McGuire AFB for a 6 week school. 
Would like to have some info to keep me going while I am "out of the game", thanks all!

DJ,
Took 3 nice Doe last week,gave 1 away. 1 about 140 lb+-. Passed on a few smaller deer. 1 guy on our farm took a small buck(not good). No sign around here of Bucks running doe yet. I think the nice bucks are stuck in the marsh around here. Gotta catch them very early or late until rut. Then they get stupid!
