i hunt christian county. do you know what part you're going to be in??? most likely it's going to be a farmland hunt so most likely you're going to see some deer one way or another. the bugs shouldn't be a problem. it should be getting kinda chilly by then so they should be all gone. you may be there for the beginning of the prerut but i'm not sure. if you get around good food sources you'll be around does and if you're around does you may see a buck. you might try rattling. it may not work great but it's a viable option.
