True for rifle seasons here, but not for mid Sept muzzy hunts. They're all high, not near the rut, and smart. Trying to get one without glassing, and a scope is like bow hunting. I give all the credit to bow hunters who can get a trophy buck around here. Although they glass a lot which gives a small edge over me.

I've been at this awhile. I know what's harder and easier for me. It could be completely different for someone else.
