I guess my problem is in 20 plus years of hunting, I have never been able to hunt the prime month of Nov.. very often due to work volume and such, so I am in the learning process of trying to find a brusier

There is also no defined food source, can't bait, little to no acorns, so I am puzzled ... I obviously found an area that holds bucks but nothing big ... and without the sightings of does I am concerned about bigger bucks using the area -- has plenty of buck sign but haven't sighted anything bigger than a four point

With a few does sightings I would be more confident that big boys would be there come the rut should I hold tight or am I way off base
