Well I've had a few things work in the past for me.

First like most people have said hunt the food sources. Good way to take "a" late season deer but maybe not "the" late season deer. Those big mature bucks that have been pressured all year aren't coming out until the security of darkness.

Bedding areas is where I like to go. I get right on top of them during the late season hoping to catch them coming back or just getting up to venture to one of those food sources. Yes you risk bumping them out of their bedroom and leaving your scent around, but I think that's the best chance for a late season bruiser.

Get lucky with the 2nd or 3rd rut and have a buck following a hot doe that hasn't been bred?[:-] Sounds good in theory, but I don't put too much faith in the 2nd or 3rd rut.

Get a good wet windy day to still hunt. Put the wind in your face and still hunt an area you think is holding deer. Very cool way to take a whitetail by the way.

Last ... I have 600 acres that I save for occasions like this. I don't step foot in their untill "late season" comes around and the deer around my main areas are pressured like crazy. I slip into this little oasis and it's like opening week of bow season again [8D]. The neighbors around this piece of property (my brothers) don't hunt and nobody hunts around it that I know of. So these deer see very little pressure.

If all else fails get one of those hunting games for playstation 2. You can't miss with that.
