Default Good Times in Virginia

I went down to our lease in SW Virginia for the second week of muzzloloader season and the opening few days of modern firearms season. I didn't see that many does as normally but it seem that the big does where locked up with bucks. I did see some chasing going on but with the weather being warm I only saw smaller bucks chasing the does during daylight hours. With all that said, we had one of our best seasons on our farm, so far 9 bucks have been harvested with 6 of them being 7 points or better. The biggest so far being a 228 lb 11 pointer that the gross green score is 152 4/8. My buck was an 8 pointer shot just after legal shooting light on the opening day of rifle in a corn field. The 11 pointer was shot on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at 2:20pm bedded down with a doe in a wide open cut corn field. We couldn't believe they were just laying down in the wide open but my buddy and I were able to put a stalk on them based on the contour of the land. The 7 and 8 pointer were taken by father and son on opening day of muzzleloader and the father shot the 9 pointer on the second saturday of muzzleloader. I did see 6 other smaller bucks while hunting and there have been a 4, 6, 8, and 9 pointers harvested on the same farm.

We also were able to hunt another farm with several does taken and a 5 1/2 yr old 9 pointer and a 6 pointer was taken from. The 6 pointer was the youngsters first buck taken.

Several years ago a friend of mine had excellent luck up that way while attending VT. Congrats on the fine looking bucks!

Congrats on the great season. Those are some nice bucks for sure. You might want to be careful telling everyone your 8pt was taken just AFTER Legal Light. I'm just saying.

I think he meant in the a.m., after legal shooting light.
