The lessons from the track record of these bucks can be summed up as follows:
Hunt the foods deer are eating — When acorns are available, leave the feeders and hunt the mast crop.
Hunt the rut, the entire rut.
Hunt the travel corridors between the feeding sites that bucks are using to find does.
Hunt the cold fronts that come into the state, from the time they approach until it starts warming up — you never know what day the deer will decide to move.
Don’t waste your time when the weather conditions are not conducive for deer movement — It is a long deer season, but the days deer will actually be active are limited.
Pass on the young bucks that have good potential to let them get another year older.
If you like what you see, put your tag on it — Who knows when that chance will come again.
