The mature buck you killed the 1st week of October was definitely an exception to their rule. They didnt state it was impossible, just lower odds. Mention was made that foggy and raining days helped.
Does this mean you hunt mornings no different than any other time of the year?
My favorite time to be in my treestand is in the morning...... Lower odds of shooting a buck out of rut or not I will be in my stand if I am not at work.
I know if I went by their thinking I would have two less shoulder mounts on my wall [8D]
I hear you on that one. But isnt it possible that you may have spooked more mature bucks that you may have killed by educating them in the mornings.
