Watched a decent 8 point chase a doe back and forth across a field today in 80 degree weather. The doe was running like her tail was on fire!

I have been seeing small bucks sparring, scraping, and dogging does the last week or so in NOVA. Found these two tree rubs on Saturday morning.

Buddy of mine killed a nice 8 yesterday that was running a doe. I haven't seen any rut activity yet. I imagine it should start heating up, it normally does first two weeks of Nov where I am.

well folks, yesterday Saturday October 28th was a weird and great day. My nerves were shot by last shooting light when I landed my first bow/buck. Typically, I would let small bucks pass, but since this is my first year ever hunting bow, I took and landed my first deer at 6pm. I'm hooked, but it is time for muzzy. As for updating for those collecting reports. Fauquier county. Nice 9 point 10:30a.m., no shot at 18 yards (very skittish), 1p.m. two 6 points let them walk, 3p.m., 1 small buck and 1 large doe came in to meet him. no shot. 5p.m. the woods lit up with around 15 deer from many different dirrections. Busy crazy day on Saturday.

NOTE*** I have yet to see chasing. Many rubs, Many bucks, hardly seeing any does this yesr so far. I have seen only one scrape. Mind you, I am hunting a fifty acre peice of private property that I have been managing now for (this will be the fourth) four seasons. I have left half of the property untouched, letting it simmer for muzzy. That is the half of the property that holds the big boys.

Has anyone witnessed good seeking chasing or any rut asction? I am very amped toget back into the woods again this weekend, but with my muzzy. The weather I am sure has effected things, but was looking for a rut report. Thanks.

i got a feeling this weekend is gonna be a AWESOME weekend, this storm coming through has brought a lot of rain and wind in, which has helped blow a lot of leaves off the tree. Along with this cold weather that should have them on there feet! and the last two weeks have seen more rubs and scrapes pop up and getting bucks on camera during the day pretty consistently i cant wait to get the smoke pole out Saturday
