Are you hunting wooded areas or open fields? It is a little cooler than normal here in Missouri and I have seen them in the timbers more this year as we have had a great acorn crop. My bet would be hunt the timbers and look for white oak acorns. I have an appointment with Mr 10 point buck this weekend with a bow on saturday. Our gun season does not open until November 14 and Muzzy is not until late December. I hunt both seasons with a muzzy and no longer have centerfires. Good luck on your season at least you can enjoy the time off from work as well, but it is even harder to go back to work the longer you stay in the woods.
