Your Opinion- Is The Rut Happening in WV Yet?

I have seen very little activity here in southern WV (Greenbrier County). Only 2 scrapes and 1 nice rub so far. This afternoon there were 2 buck fawns (button bucks) with their mother in my back yard eating apples. Don't does usually run off buck fawns when they come into estrous? I know they were with her because she groomed one of them from head to toe.

Opinions?

BTW, not many bucks and very few nice bucks have been taken. Deer sighting on a whole seem to be low.

Well Camoguy, I hunted the whole week up near Sherwood Lake and didn't see a deer until Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and it was a 5 point buck that I took. On Friday I went back out, had my extra buck tag, and hunted Friday and Saturday and still never saw a deer. My son and brother-in-law were the same way. Nothing. The DNR has been to liberal with their doe seasons for the past 3 to 4 years. We have been allowed to kill off to many does.

Folks...it seems to me that camoguy asked this question back on 12/01/04 and no one answered (I guess). WVhunter129, I believe was the first person to respond and just giving his insight on last season!

If not...I'm lost too!

Snapper your right, I was answering a question that camoguy had that it appeared no one wanted to answer. It appears that not many hunters from WV are part of this site. And that is a shame. I take all the poking anyone wants to dish out.

You see, every forum I belong to there is always one or two or more WV hunters there. Some ask questions and they are never answered, it is either there is no one from their area subscribed to the forum or it might be those WV hunters who joined were driven away.

I know I left a forum due to some comments made about a story I sent to Buckmasters, and Buckmasters put it on their website. It was a story about a hunting trip my son and I went on after I had a heart cathorization 8 months earlier. I provided the link on a forum (I won't mention which one) and a few individuals made some real nasty remarks and after that I left. It wasn't just the thing over the story. It was other things that had me wondering whether I wanted to be a member of that forum. Never had any replies to posts, especially when asking questions. Now this is a very common and popular site, they even have a TV show, but I won't mention any names.

Some forums make you feel welcome some ignore you.

I knew pretty much that answering camoguys question would probably raise some eyebrows. At least it got some attention. LOL

But, I have done a search on WV postings here on this forum and it appears there aren't that many people here from WV. So to try and see if there were any WV hunters here I answered some older posts.

I am sorry if I confused people, but I am glad that some got a good laugh at my expense. Life is to short to have a frown all the time.

Good hunting to all this season.

Well, now I'm kinda' ashamed of myself. frown.gif

Sorry bud. Your explanation makes sense now.

I think you will find that Realtree has a great bunch of guys and I know of a few WV hunters that frequent this site, and we even have a couple guys that visit WV every year.

Stick around. Heck, Ohio borders WV and I talk enough for the both of us. grin.gif

No problem Tominator, I wasn't thinking about leaving. Like I said I knew this would probably raise some eyebrows since season has been over for quite some time.

I will be around as much as I can. Since I am the admin of the WV Forum, I don't get a chance to frequent here much, but I will try as much as I can to get here.

The prob. is that most WV probly don't have internet heck probly don't even have a phone back in those mountains! tongue.gif Just poking fun, glad you replied back...I'm sure most folks were just confused as was I until I read into it a bit. wink.gif
