Honestly I just focus on shooting does during this time and try to stay as far away from known buck areas until 3rd week of October. I use this time to really pattern what the does are doing so I know what they will do when the bucks start to chase them. I certainly don't have a wall full of mature bucks but I know all the encounters I have had with larger bucks have been VERY early or 3rd week of Oct or later. I'm curious to know what others think though.........
