Default RE: OK... How about a little strategy talk....

I would disagree just bit in the logic behind this. I hunt does early. First 2 weeks of the season anyway. After that I try and hunt a different stand every time I am out. Just to get a read on the area before the rut. However during the rut I see bucks that I have never seen before. Yes I will see a local if you will but for the most part they are deer that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing. With this in mind would hunting does then educate the bucks if they are bucks from outside the core area? I understand the thought that a doe would be more causious in pressured areas, but will they?
I really only need them (does) to frequent the area in the early rut, when the bucks are seeking. During the rut when bucks are chasing I don't feel there is a whole lot of caution. They are being chased, they go where they go.

With this beiing said I have only shot one buck(147) in 15 years. I may have it wrong. Although I do see them.
