My question is because in November the rutt kicks in, do I avoid sitting in my stands until then and hunt a different funnel, or should a guy just go out right away and hope they are still on the same pattern. Oct. 1st season opens.
if he is running a pattern where you believe you can kill him i would try it, cause who knows where that deer will end up in the rut!!
Exactly, you know where that deer is moving now so go get him. Because when the rut kicks in, that deer might be miles and miles away from where you are. Amazing to me how much they move.

I agree 100%. You can hunt that stand early to try to get that buck. Just don't over hunt it! If nothing is happening, get out of there and come back in Nov. Like some others said though, come rut that buck could be miles away or still in the area. Depends on the ladies!
Wait till rut, or try the stands right away?
