Anyone can kill and will continue to kill big bucks duirng the rut. Its a big mature bucks weakness, outside of the rut, its a delicate game of cat and mouse because your hunting him in or very close tois bedding area... But he's much more predictable than during the rut ..so its a give and take scenario..
That's a great snippet, Troy. Thanks.
Like I said....I'm an "opportunist".
If you can hunt in Septemeber[:@] I hate you guys
Sept is cool whitetail huntin' especially when ya got elk fugging it up all the time!

lol in all seriousness, great time to pattern a buck, the biggest obstacle is the heat, scent control .. real tough to get up on these mountains without sweating and stinking the area up in 90+ temps. No complaints though, I love my August 30th opener!!!!!!!
