Was in a ground blind in Shenandoah County more or less hunting does when 6 does came gliding by at a pretty good clip. Hot on their heels probably 2 seconds behind them was a nice 6 point with his nose to the ground. Seems like the 2nd rut is kicking in. FWIW, we also saw two 8 points both running the same doe two days ago. First time we've seen that type of action since the day rifle season opened.

It seems like the first rut here with these warm fronts we've been having, seen a doe about 20 yards from the road and a big boy lurking in shadows rite behind her last nite. Mite try doe n heat this weekend.

I saw three small bucks pushing does this morning.. but no big boys .. I think the small bucks push them all fall if the does let them..

Was caught with my pants down last Tues morning scouting for ducks in KG. Was watching a beaver pond when I had a great big ole biggun, looked like a big 10 point run a doe by me at 50 yards. I did have my muzzle loader with me but had no reloads. I could never get them to stop and didn't want to take a runnin shot w/ the ole BP rifle. Especially w/o any reloads. He definetly would have been my biggest buck ever!
