Schu me and my buddy are going to take off Saturday november 20th early in the morning enough time to be up there before 10am. His brother's father inlaw hunts out that way and says he has a couple of spots but never hurts to look for more. Not sure how far of a drive that would be for you but maybe we can meet up and do some bird hunting together it would be cool to actually meet a member of the team. Let me know what you think.
Pope sounds like you had a great encounter and with him making rubs that close to your stand I would say you have a really good chance of seeing that buck again in the near future. If there is any way to possibly move your stand a little closer to where he is actually rubbing that would be an option that I would look into myself.
Not sure if any of you guys use decoys or not but what is your take on them and when would you start using one?
