    If you know the target bucks pattern and have the right conditions for them, there's no better time than the first hunt to make it happen. Unpressured and still predictable.

    If going in blind hoping you know where he might be, you're taking equal odds of bumping him off his routine.

    A choice only you can make.

    Heading to the woods for both AM and PM hunts. Nice cool morning with a 6mph wind. Good luck to all hunting and extra luck to anyone on my team, all though it’s all the other teams that need the extra luck to beat BUCK NORRIS!!!!
