Only 2 of my big bucks have come on opening weekend, the rest are in January. Just hunt a bunch of places and find you a big doe group. Find them again in January. I did well because of low pressure on surrounding properties. I hunted big hardwood ridge saddles where I can see the next ridge on each side of me with foodplots at the bottom and cutover at the top. First or second bench from the top is where I spend most of my time.
