I'll second that, gutpyle!!!!!!!!!!!! I scout year around and it seems to be the best method for me to help me figure out the big boy patterns. They get big for a reason and that reason is that they frequently vary their patterns. Secondary trails tend to be their preferred routes. Look for them and how they lead to and fro from food and water. Sex time is the best to catch them with their guard down. Get the does coming your direction and before you know it some big fella will arrive looking for love. Forget the secondary trails while the rut is in progress. Their patterns change and they will follow the thoroughways more often than not, chasing the lassies. Good luck in your pursuit of "Bullwinkle".
