Hunt the does. Bucks will be in the seeking phase by then. A lot of big bucks get killed on Halloween.

Either hunt near doe bedding areas, doe tavel routes, or food sources the does are hitting. That will be a good time for rattling if you set up and are not seeing does, or no bucks are out with a group of does you are on.

When you are here in Ohio, be sure to bring your rattling antlers or whatever it is that you use to rattle with. They will be in the seeking phase just like "loadbreak" stated earlier. I have already rattled over 11 deer into range but none of which were big enough for me to take. The temp is dropping and the bigger bucks will sure to be moving more during shooting light hours here shortly. Look at some of my previous posts that I have put on here over the past few weeks for additional information. As far as where to hunt or concentrate on, well the food and water sources will still be good. Also, watch those draws that will keep traveling bucks well hidden in cover as well. Find some well used deer trails and other sign and get set up. This Saturday it's suppose to drop down to 36 degrees. Good luck!!!
