Robby hosts the Rokcast today, covering all-things mid-season big buck tactics. From mid-October until the early rut in early November, a hunter usually experiences some the hardest days for finding big mule deer.  It could be the hunting pressure bucks have already felt, thick coats that keep them in the cover longer, or their solitary nature once the bachelor herds break up. No matter what it is, it can be a tough time to hunt.

Even with these factors working against a hunter, there are still some tactics that can work. Robby dives into the advantage that the brief window known as "leaf-off" gives a hunter. He also touches on still-hunting, moving in deer country, who gets first shot, and who gets to tag a wounded buck.  The episode can help you with mid-season big buck tactics, and possibly preserve a few friendships.
