The Pre-Rut • The pre-rut usually occurs before the legal hunting season. • The buck is usually spending his time in his sanctuary. • A good time to catch a buck at his bed is during the middle of the day. • The best time to see a buck moving around is during the morning or sunset. • The bucks start paying less attention to their surroundings. • They start to begin following does.

  4. The Rut • First signs of the rutting occur around the bedding area. • Scrapes are generally an indicator that a buck is in the area. • Look for the bucks getaway trail, never hunt directly above the scrapes • Cover scents help if you are downwind • Bucks will travel off of their trails if they suspect danger in the area.

  5. The Post-Rut • Some buck become nocturnal due to intense hunting pressure. • Bucks will probably not be moving during the day. • Bucks will bead down in thick vegetation. • Try to find many trails used by the buck, then narrow down the trails the he will probably take when he is running away. • Position yourself to make a shot and make it count because you will probably not have much time to shoot.

  6. Summary • Understanding the rut is crucial to harvesting a trophy buck. • Each stage has its own hunting techniques. • Learn these techniques and match them up with exactly what is going on during that stage of the rut. • Good luck, and have a good hunt.
