thanks guys....jb, if you were me and could only hunt a few more days, you think muzzleloading season would be best bet? like i said i love to bowhunt but i want to put a nice buck down and will be just as happy to do it with a muzzleloader. sounds like i may need to bring some corn and wait patiently. the lease had some cut corn fields in nov but i am not sure if they will be disced up by Dec 27 or not.
