I'm looking for some bucks that are good bucks and bucks that I can kill. I don't have one located just yet. If I don't locate a buck that I think I can kill, I'll hunt some known buck areas that have produced in the past.
I will use intel from years past to help me out. I also will check my trail cameras in about 3 weeks. That should give me an idea of the caliber of bucks that are in certain areas. The thing about big buck hunting; stay patient. It could happen opening day or it could happen last day of the season. You just gotta do the best you can do.
The thing about hunting certain beds you need lots of them. If you have 5 beds located . That for all practical purposes gives you 5 hunts. If the bed is empty, and some will be, you could hunt the bed again. Also keep in mind because one guy makes it look easy doesn't mean it is easily duplicated.
This is very true! there is a huge difference between mid/early September and October
Stanley and Dan-what are the differences between Sept and Oct openers? I thought they would be similar as people mention trying to catch a buck early october still on a summer pattern.
