I think it depends on where you hunt and the lay of the land. If you have food plots or ag fields, do your homework so as not to spoke them, bucks can be very paternable this time of year. This gives you a distinct advantage assuming you can figure out how to set up on them, as to come and go from their preferred food source.
Of course mid November on you have a chance as they are thinking with the wrong head. :lol:

The key to both of these approaches is the the element of surprise. Mid season or rut is a great opportunity to kill a big buck but my experience has shown that it's not a buck that I knew was in the area.
