Food,Food, and Food! In the south, I hunt wild grapes or muskadines early especially around water. When scouting, look and smell for these. Use 10 power binocular to see high up. Also look high in white oak trees for acorns. When they start to fall around the 2nd week of oct, huntem hard. By the time nov rolls around you should know where the doe groups are. Hunt around them until your trophy buck shows up! Nutin to it. Right. Ha,Ha, Good luck!!
