>>>> Here's wishing you a basket full of 160's,but despite our very upbeat friend,they are indeed hard to come by......Several of 160's(and better)get shot out there every year,but to claim that they are common place simply isn't so,and diminishes the effort.... Bucks have been chasing really hard for about a week now,and 90% of all the does will be bred by the end of the next4 or5 days. That said,I have hunted the rifle opener every year for last several years,and seem to always see a few bucks still chasing. Who knows! I like to get downwind of known bedding areas where good bucks have been spotted. Your outfitter will likely try to set you up to catch bucks moving to good food sources. Spot and stalk is a real possiblity,but if you don't come up with something you'd be interested in shooting,they do alot of pushing(drives) out there. I've taken by nicest bucks using this exciting method. Time's getting close..... best of luck to you........
