Honestly.. I feel I have a good chance at any one time of the year. From the moment the season opens til its closing I have a plan of attack.. and can get it done when I get my desired weather conditions.

I hunt the early season (that first 6-7 days) different than I hunt the next 20 days. Then I get into a good pre-rut groove and follow that up with hunting funnels hard as the rut kicks into gear... I am always changing with the season.

As far as seeing real big bucks.. actually I've always seen them the late season. After the rutting activity is about all gone.. you get on a spot where a good food source is bringing in a fair amount of doe's.. one last young doe goes into estrous and BINGO!! A monster of a buck shows up out of thin air.. and your like.. where did he come from?
