RE: late season success?
Late season is almost as good as the rut with the right location. I have shot 4 B&C bucks from Dec 2nd to the end of the season. Doe's have a 2nd estrus cycle and the bucks need food to regain fat reserves they burned during the 1st rut. Food and doe sources go hand in hand and are you best bet. The deer are settling down after being chased by the small buck shooters and your chances are good. Hang in there you never know what might show.
