RE: SE Ohio deer hunters....Need your help!
Let me know I will be down Nov 1st to help. LOL
I fond when I go to a new area I go to the local proshop. I ask question about what time do they start seeing big deer. I believe when the big boys come out is when the rut truly is in full swing. To many folks see little bucks running around early in the season, and ar convince the rut is here.I also ask about the health of the deer, size(weight), and successrates for the local hunters.Then I check the record books for tha county tosee what others have taken. I know people will flame me and say Trophey hunter, but I do itso I know whatkind of bucks are in the area. If I am in a county with a bunch of 160's on the book then I will pass a 120's. If the county does not have alot bigger bucks, well then I will take a 120 class. All matters on what YOU want. May help may not, good luck.
Chuck Adams does the samething, I read couple of his books.
