For the guys getting it done on 5 years old and up bucks what stage of the rut are you getting it done? I'm considering moving my vacation back a week and hunting the last 5-7 days of October through very early November rather than the 4th or 5th up to MO gun season unless the weather is a debacle in October. I know the 5-10th is great for all out action but it seems the oldest dudes are often locked down on the first does during that time period.
I'm 5.5 hours from my farm so I don't have the luxury of jumping in the tree on short notice plus I hunt in Missouri and gun season screws up the period after peak breading that you Iowa guys can enjoy.
