RE: Do i hunt large rubs in the early season
Hunt only the perfect wind. I am not sure if I would sit on it entirely real early. I would tend to let it sit and keep scouting it and the area, once the bach groups windle down then I would camp on it if it is growing and active. Early I would lean to the hunt trails from bedding to food, chances are this rubline is on the way for the man in question.
Another thought put a game camera on it to see if you can get a handle on him. (if legal and all)
