I had my first Idaho general season rifle hunt last year and it turned into a meat hunt pretty fast. It was October rifle and bucks were just not out. In 5 days of glassing I turned up two bucks. I went home with a 2 point on the last day.
This year I have a bow and noticed some OTC options to hunt the rut. I was out during the rut last year as well but with no tag in my pocket and found myself swimming in bucks. Given the choice, would you go for archery during the rut as a novice archery hunter, or work on finding a better area for October rifle?
