I took this past week off,for vacation. I hunted about everyday. Either full days or half days. I saw quite a few deer, but not many big bucks. I was hoping the rut would be in full swing. Looks like the rut may be in full swing in the next week or two. Have seen quite a few scrapes being worked. I haven't seen many does being chased as of yet. I have a lease in Madison County. Lots of deer and big bucks. A fellow member shot a decent 10 point this past Thursday. Traveling by himself around 10am. I did bag my first archery deer on the final day of the season. A decent 5 pointwith my newly acquired Excal Pheonix. I hope my luck changes going forward. Only a few more days of BP and then comes rifle season. 12 days after rifle season comes in, then come the dogs and the big boys are gone.

I hunted 2 different pieces of ground on opening day BP. Madison County and Culpepper County. I couldn't believe my ears but the outlaws were running dogs already. I hope they all got busted, and this just give more justification to outlaw this practice.

This is my second year in VA and still havent been able to go yet. Spent last year moving in and visiting family and this year Im stuck here in Kuwait until the end of Dec.

I am hunting in Alleghany County next weekend. Hoping to bag my first deer. I'll be on a fairly large farm that backs up to a mountain. There are tons of deer there, the only question is whether they will be scared from muzzleloading season.

Don't worry about them being scared from muzzleloader season, just last Saturday I shot a doe at dusk that was with another doe. At the shot, following the bang flop of doe #1, doe #2 ran to doe #1, then walked in the woods and up to me, took a while to get her to leave. Lots of times I have shot deer and had others just stand there or even walk towards me. So long as you aren't seen they don't tend to get to ruffled. You'll be fine.

I haven't hunted deer in 15 years. I'm coming back home (I'll be on the road Saturday) this weekend and I can't wait. We (family and friends) have property all over NoVa and I'm "too excited to sleep." EVERY report I've received has been phenomenal and just fuels the excitement. The bear reports have been just as promising as the deer reports. I'll be hunting Madison, Orange, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Fauquier and maybe Fairfax county. I pray that my preparation meets opportunity. Sunday I plan on doing some scouting on some PRIME real estate in Culpeper county that I've been given permission to hunt. Monday, that's where I intend to give it my best shot.

I'll kick the covers all night, every night for the rest of the week just thinking about it!!!

Haven't had much time to hunt this year. Hopefully Thursday and Friday will present an opportunity.
