This year will be different for me also. normally i hunt a zone that i have hunted for years which is right down the road and the seasons "ends" in the first week of November, just as the bucks are starting to rut.i put in for a zone that is just across the highway from where i have hunted since 1986, also near the house and that zone "opens" in the first week of November. needless to say i will be hunting bucks that are in rut and looking for does, which i have never done lol.i am actually really excited about hunting rutting bucks and the fact i don't have to scout in the heat. i won't even start setting up cams and scouting till October.
