Number one...I hunt Monroe Count...do not expect a 130 class buck...A great buck for the area is around 115-125.....and those aren't too common..the area is over hunted during rifle season....bow season is best. as for the rut...I usually see it coming in around early Nov. Good Luck on your hunt...the southern counties produce the monster bucks....all the bow counties and a few places like mason county...What part of Monroe are you hunting?
