SEWA509:
I'd focus on locating doe groups and their bedding areas. The deer around there can be pretty nomadic since there is a lot of open country around all the ag land with pockets of draws and trees intermixed. Harvest is going to start ramping up soon and most farmers don't have the time for some random coming asking for permission when they got a million other things on their mind so if you're going to try to get permission time it accordingly.

Overall, I'd say it's a numbers game. Put in time on areas with known doe bedding areas and you'll be sure to see a good deer or two. Don't get discouraged if you don't see anything one day cause the very next day could be when a nice buck makes his loop checking does. Also beware that upland bird seasons are going on and depending on where you hunt you could have company.

It was mixed behavior when I had the tag. We saw lots of bucks. Not a lot of rut activity early. Towards the end it picked up. Ended up shooting a 140” buck. Had a great time. Between you Bennett pass ffth and state land I think you’ll have plenty of area to find a good one. Scouting know is a waste of time. You have all the general seasons. Not many of the deer down there make it to a mature age. Have fun! Be patient.
