What do you think with how the weather is shaping up and what is going to be your starting point? Where are you going to start looking? What kind of activity do you think you're going to see? Are you going to see chasing type stuff or you think it's still going to be on a good food pattern, sign making, that kind of thing?

We're kind of getting in between a couple different phases where you still have does that are looking for food because they're trying to pack on and wait for winter.

But you have those younger bucks that are trying to seek out does that might be coming in early.

I don't think we're having too many big bucks move a whole lot yet, especially during daylight.

But come the next week or two, we'll probably start seeing more big bucks moving during daylight.

But my... tactic for this time of year is to really just put in boots on the ground and cover a lot of ground so like to hike three or four miles just looking for a fresh sign is is a normal afternoon so but with the weather the weather is going to be kind of crappy the next week or so where it's cool in the mornings which is nice but then t-shirt weather in the afternoons and it's not usually good for deer movement especially with their winter coats on and They wait till after dark to start moving.

So yeah.

So where do you come in with your observation set? What are you doing and how confident do you feel in observation sets?
