Saturday was the VA archery opener...high of 90! Didn't even hunt in the afternoon. This afternoon we went to the property to plant more Christmas trees. Shortly after getting there my son and I smelled the strong odor of a buck's hocks for about five minutes. There were several scrapes and large rubs in the area. I know the rut is a month away, but I suspect grunting and light rattling might get some attention. We'll see later this week!
