Well fellas, I am heading home once again from school, and the word is the deer here in VA are moving a ton. It just got cold and the rut it kicking in. I am looking forward to an exciting two days of hunting, we will see how things turn out!

I did have one question for you all to help me out with. There are plenty of stands I could hunt, but I was thinking about humping up this mountain to a little saddle I know of, a good mile or two hike back. I would like to hunt it in the afternoon, silently hike back there around 1 or 2pm and get comfy against a tree. I saw a great 10 pointer there last year, and there are other big ones that roam back there, especially since theres not much pressure back there at all. I was curious if you guys think hunting with a bow for a big buck is a wise idea, I know they are smart, but if I build a good blind I recon I could draw my bow then raise up and thwack the biggun'...let me know what you all think, where to hunt this part of the rut?
