Just hope he's not on private where he was most all of last season.
So a few years ago I was about one mile west of Boulder Creek campground (you can see on maps/good earth that there is a large more open area/slope. Right in that large open area saw several large bucks feeding. This was during late October I believe. MIght be a good place to glass up on your hunt. Best of luck!
On the note of the closure area, I drove around the perimeters of it a fair amount this last weekend and I saw only a couple of rigs parked at gates into the closed area. What I didn't see at all though was any enforcement. Did anyone else notice anyone enforcing the closure areas?

The 100 road up Sandy Butte is closed about a mile into it, but they took the sign down that said the area was under closure so we hiked in and hunted it. My bro took a decent mule buck right in the burn area. In fact, there were tons of deer in the burns. Saw several does chewing on burnt sticks. I think they like it.

I think they like it.The ones I saw were definitely still closed per the current FOrest Service closure and map thats updated on Inciweb. Also in the Chewuch area. I guess I'm just curious how strict they are really trying to be because there are a couple gates I'd really like to walk in at.
