hickman what part of Oklahoma are you hunting? ML season can be very productive in late October. We have had a surprizingly wet and mild summer and the deer are in tremendous shape. I have to dodge them every morning going to work. The acorn crop is loaded and the deer are already feeding on falling acorns. We have a lot of oaks in southwest Oklahoma where I am. I will concentrate on oak timber and hunt trails to water, we have plenty of that this year as well. If thats not available hunt as suggested in other posts and hunt feed to bedding areas. We have had rut activity in October before, it is not uncommon. Good luck.
