I drew the late Nov. rut hunt in 2007, any deer tag. The tag covered 5 GMUs to include the Pogue. My family owns Shady Pines Resort in Conconully, so I was able to get some local connections. I hunted past the snow park, at the snow line. I walked the snow mobile trails, fire lines, and glassed the burn areas. I shot a nice whitetail after glassing the tall timber. Big bucks are in the deep timber chasing does in the bottoms. The later the better IMO. Where I was at gets heavy local pressure throughout the Fall, but the bigger deer started showing, once the snow hit, and the rut was on. Good luck
