Seriously there are big deer shot all season, with all types of equipment. you need to put down the fall editions and pick up the winter ones, you'll see that a lot monsters are taken with rifles in the rut .

The mentality that bowhunters are killing all the big bucks in early season needs to stop! It makes the people saying it look inadequate , and silly! Bowhunters are like everyone else, they hunt when the season opens, and hunt just as hard in the rut! Heck my biggest buck was shot in November , with a rifle.

The few bowhunters that shoot big deer consistently , don't just shoot them in sept! And those guys do put more, time, money and effort , than the average guy!

How many scouting days have you put in so far? I know how many I have put already!
Your correct. Some of those old hidden monarchs come out of hiding in Nov. But when the crops are still up in the fields, the bucks feel safe and are easy to pattern. Same goes with whitetails...But they usually don't sit out in the open all day like mule deer do. Even the first week of rifle season here used to be a walk in the park for 180"+ bucks if you do some home work.


I dont know how many scouting days i have in??? How many has it been since last season? Thats how many
