The October Lull Is a Myth: Make Every Hunt Count
Is the October lull keeping you out of the woods? Dan Johnson and Jason Thibodeau challenge the idea that deer stop moving in October and share how hunters can adapt as crops change, bucks begin to separate, and the rut approaches.
In this episode, they discuss:
- How shifting food sources affect deer movement
- Hunting bedding-to-food patterns and staging areas
- Using wind, access routes, and in-season scouting to choose a setup
- Hunting does to fill the freezer without putting too much pressure on an area
- Making the most of limited hunting time around work and family schedules
Dan also shares a youth-season lesson from hunting with his son, while Jason walks through his early-October plan for a creek-bottom setup. Their advice is straightforward: pay attention to conditions, stay adaptable, and get in the woods when you can.Hunt safely: wear a safety harness when hunting off the ground, and wear blaze orange during firearm season.
