As already mentioned numerous times, find what they are eating. IMHO, late season bucks are easier to hunt since all they are concentrated on is eating trying to put the weight on before winter. Find the food and hunt.
It’s finding the food they are eating during shooting hours hahaah. I know they find their way to the pastures late. Ima hunt the hardwoods near the thick pine growth and cutovers
I’m in Fauquier and agree on everything said so far. We have some good cold coming in the next few days and my experience is that really starts to get them moving as they’re burning many more calories and have to find the food. Snow on Friday and cold on Saturday morning should make for a great day.
