Craig, I sent you a u2u. I was kind of messin with ya, but hunting in the early season with the right set up could be good. I'd try not to scent an area up too much or hunt too hard for one deer, cause he will likely go nocturnal, if he isn't already. The pre rut and rut can really get some deer to moving. I'm no expert, but I like talking deer strategy. Good luck. :cheers:
