Zone 7. It's a private farm so I'm hoping that we won't run into many other hunters. I don't have much interest in the gun hunt, that's why I'm trying to get versed on the public land rut hunts and where to concentrate my efforts.
What I looked for were places other folks wouldn’t go. I set up between their feeding and bedding. Vocal calls and rattling actually works out there. Be sure to add some buck scent if you put out any estrus. I hunted the rut and man it’s like you see on tv. Also, don’t be discouraged by the wind. Those deer are use to it.
