Hey guys, I began hunting whitetail this season early in the archery season. Bout 2 weeks in I missed a nice 6 at about 40 yards and didnt see anything else all archery or black powder (I hunt with a bow through black powder). On opening day of regular firearms I killed a nice big bodied 8 and shot a button for a doe. Then, 2 weeks of nothing. On Thanksgiving day I deer/turkey hunted all morning/afternoon and didnt see anything. Then, I slipped behind the house at around 4 pm to hunt until dinner. After about 45 minutes of estrus scent (tink's scent bomb) and some bleat/grunt combos, a half spike (unicorn) and his doe came in, I dropped him. That was #3. Then ,yesterday (Nov, 26) I was at a club with my uncle. Since I am a nonmember I cannot kill antlered bucks. So of course, I saw an absolute MONSTER buck, he was at least a huge 10. A little while later I saw a big six or a small 8. Even a little later I saw a bucks hund quarters as some dogs ran him under me about 100 yards away. Then, as my uncle was coming to get me, he jumped a doe, which ran about 15 yards from me, from my left to my right, so I shot her in the head. That brings my season total to 4 deer. Averaging one a week for November. I killed all of them with my Weatherby Vanguard in .308 Win. And thats been my deer season in Virginia so far.
