The rut is the best to see the big bucks moving. There are other ways to go about it to. If they are not moving do some still hunting. Pick a rainy or wet, windy day and just start walking slowly thru the woods. Move a little then look all around for a few mins. Continue this and you would be surprised at what you can sneak up on. It takes a lot of patience but can be really fun. Also, you can do a drive.
