in 2005 i hunted the broadus area the second week of the general season. all in 4 in my party had great success that second week of the season. we saw virtually no others hunters. i was just wondering if anyone knows what the hunting pressure is like around the opener of the general season? if i get drawn this year, around the opener may be a better time for me to go. i've been told the locals don't usually come out until the rut hits, which again is not a time i would be able to hunt. any info you have would be appreciated.
