i would have to say that it depends on where you hunt, the conception that pa is loaded with doe is crap in my area, ever since doe came in with buck it has almost wiped them out where i hunt, i found 2 nice bucks where i hunt that i got on game cam and i have put in about 40hrs in my stand to see just 2 small doe, so now my descision will have to be based on 1. do i hunt this area that i know there are at least 2 nice bucks, or 2. there are no does there so there is a good chance as soon as some does near there go in rut , the bucks will be gone... so thats what i have to decide, i have seen no sign of rut at all this last weekend, not 1 scrape, so im pumped up cause i have 3 days off this week, i just hope that we dont miss the rut before archery goes out.....
