RSB,
I know that you are have the opportunity to spend a great deal of time in the outdoors, and talking with other sportsmen. So I thought you may have a couple suggestions.

To get a mature buck do you feel that a person is better off hunting a thicket closer to areas known to have hunting pressure, escape routes, leading to protective cover, or to hunt a thick or rough area as far away from the other hunters as possible? Basically I'm lookingto hear your suggestions on where the chances are good to harvest a mature buck in the regular rifle season.

Another question are you familliar with what mast crops are dooing well this year?

Thanks,
