I saw a good buck pushing a doe into a thicket this morning in Hampton cove. I thought someone could use the info.

Glad you saw that, but I can tell you that it ain't happening at all right now out on RSA.

How do you like hunting on the arsenal? Done it a couple times and it wasn't my cup of tea.

Very true I remember stumbling across some signs that said "danger stay out, explosives." Granted it was an old sign just laying on the ground but it's still enough to make you wonder.

Very interesting. I'm hunting some land about a 1/2 mile north of Hampton Cove. Had several doe and a couple of bucks in the same field this afternoon. Bucks were Paying very little attention to the does.

I'm pretty close to there also. I saw a big daddy 8 a couple days ago and he had no interest in any of the does that were around. Not much sign yet in the area where it is always torn up. I hunt this place about 3-4 times per yr to not pressure them much, usually pays off. The one I watched was about 75 yards and angling away to my right, just didn't feel good about the shot, so I left him for another day. Good 130"+ deer, neck was swolen, but he just fed all around the does with no interest. They are not even close here on Redstone, but I have seen a couple jaw droppers that have shown up in the last week or so out here.

I also hunt in the general "area" of Hampton Cove... Other than some early scrapes opening up I'm not seeing any chasing or interest in does yet. My experience around here is that the real rut does not kick into high gear until very late January...

Rutting like crazy where I hunt saw 5 bucks chasing yesterday evening and a big half rack buck bred a doe. Wish I could be in the woods this evening, Christmas stuff calls for the next 3 days.

I thought Mrs. Sublic didn't give permission to hunt but I see a headlamp from time to time in between mcmullin and hampton cove which gave me some hope..

I believe the Hayes and Byrds own the property north of hampton cove that runs parallel to hwy 72. I think it backs up to the Flynt river. Not sure if they hunt it. Looks like some good property.
