Mid-Late Season Sucess

By now, the acorns are slowing in their drop, and whitetails are looking for other foods to get ready for winter.  But the rut is also starting to kick in.  Here's just a couple tips to help during the rut.

• Hunt does to find bucks.  You've probably heard this one before, and it's quite simple.  It explains itself.  And if you want to shoot does, hunt the does!
• Try calling.  Doe grunts and buck grunts would be good now.  Tending (estrous) grunts might work.  Don't try fawn bleats, because the fawns born this year should start to be acting like does or young bucks.
• Keep practicing with your weapon.  By now your guns and bows should be sighted in (I'm a little behind in the gun department, I've been on vacation with family).  But keep familiar with it, which shouldn't be a problem.

Happy hunting!
