Rybo I think the keywordspressure andconsistent and no I dont believe you can. You cant make any mistakes when it comes to these big boys especially if they know
something is after them. Most if not all will become nocturnal and well you know what tha means. Every year when I head up to Northern Wi for the gun hunt I can be hunting
a certain spot and see no sign on the way out but come back the next morning and see some pretty good trees tore up. The sob's are doing this at night and dont see them
during daylight at all. One option that we do have during gun season is deer drives and even then these guys are masters of their domain for sure.
If you can find a pocket where hunters dont seem to be checking out and has some buck sign you can either sneak in their and setup or watch it at last light.
If you sneak in you best get in their way earlier then what most hunters are willing to do. For example most around my parts are sneaking into their stands between 05:30 and 06:00. I use the term sneaking lightly by the
way because most dont from my experiences. I try to get my butt out there by 04:30ish with 05:00 being the latest. Of course sometimes it just does not happen this way,You may just catch one
coming back from dinner a little late. Just remember these bucks have probably seen it all with pressure.
I myself am still having problems wacking one during gun season on the timber company land where I hunt. But I am going into the swamp and I aint coming out unless BLOODCRIK is hiding
in there with those fingers of his and scares the living day lights out of me at 5 am.

There is a book I would like to get called bow hunting pressured whitetails.
