[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 3443706, member: 2805"] #1 hunt where mature bucks are.... seriously... there are a LOT of properties that don't even have a 4.5 yr old on them... you can't kill one if it isn't there #2- minimize pressure on that property till right before the rut (unless you can pattern him in the first week of bow season). hunting before the rut starts will just make him harder to kill. That's exactly why I took my vacation NEXT weekend for ML hunting my farms. The 2.5 and 3.5 yr olds will be running does like crazy this weekend, but it's still a tad early for the fully mature bucks to be moving during daylight (my rut peaks Nov 18-21st) #3- be willing to pass up a LOT of NICE 3.5 yr olds you know, esp the 120-135" 3.5 yr olds... those are the hardest ones to pass on... once you punch your tag, you're done... and if it is on a 3.5 yr old... well, then you can't kill a 4.5yr+ old.
