I dunno bout that. I hunted that immediate area for 5 yrs. Our club had some monsters on camera every summer. Those deer disappeared or went completely nocturnal in early bow and we didn't even see them during the rut. We were on a 160+ deer a few yrs ago and when walking in one mid January one of our guys jumped him. He ran to a 40 acre tract that was thick and the deer got pushed right to a very lucky hunter 173" deer. I hunted with some experienced guys that have killed some great deer but not in that area and the big deer are definitely there.
