[QUOTE="Dumbluck, post: 5799044, member: 22434"] You have to know when to hit at them. Some deer are best to hunt during early season, some during late October, some best at the very end of the season. They are all different, you've got to learn their personality. Some are aggressive, some passive, some territorial, some reclusive, some social. All of that comes into play. The hardest ones to hunt are reclusive and prefer to be alone at all times. I can almost always pick those out during summer when they are in velvet and I know my work is cut out when I see that trait. I'm not real big on putting all my eggs in one basket for assuming a doe will bring one by me during peak rut. I actually think that takes more luck than anything, yes you can hunt great locations to up your odds but I've only killed a couple of target deer with a doe and every time I've been still hunting and actively looking for them holed up with a doe. I prefer to get a shot at them before they pick up their first doe, during that time period I usually have a pretty good pattern on them in most cases. Once that first doe comes in, they may disperse for a couple months sometimes. [/QUOTE]
