tyler1215 Report post Posted July 17, 2019 Hi guys. For the last five years or so I have always hunted the late November early December hunt. However, this year d/t other obligations I put in and drew the oct hunt. Any advise on what is different between those times? I know itll be a lot hotter so I'm curious on what I will need to do differently. Any suggestions, thoughts, or comments are appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted July 17, 2019 Well if your glassing with a tripod and know how to glass I say just do the same thing. Yes it will be warmer so they will probably head for shade a little earlier. Scout and pattern your shooter and try and get him opening morning. What unit?

tyler1215 Report post Posted July 18, 2019 Unit 32. I do glass the majority of the day. Also, I know the unit and where I'll be hunting. I plan on doing what I do ever year and have been successful. I just haven't hunted in Oct and really eager to see how it differs. Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tyler1215 Report post Posted July 18, 2019 Yeah I prefer cooler temps/later hunts but dad duties are making me hunt earlier this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you come in from Mammoth you will need to sign in and look at past years you will see the early hunt has more success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G_E_E Report post Posted July 22, 2019 Do as much scouting as you can. If you find some bucks in a area before the season, there's a really good chance they'll be there the first two days of the hunt. After that the pressure will move them around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the biggest advantage of the early hunts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
