Show Notes
In part two of the rut series, Dan J. and Jason T. look at Nov 9-13 and the weekend of the 15th. They cover what changes after the first week of November and how they plan to hunt it.They cover:
- Moving trail cameras off scrapes and field edges and onto major trails, funnels and pinch points
- Why bucks stop hanging in bedding areas and start cruising, and why Jason's favorite window is Nov 10-17
- Hunting big transitions and terrain features, like a river-cut ridge that narrows deer movement to 80 to 100 yards
- Calls, rattling, decoys and scent: what each host uses, and what hasn't worked
- Why you can get away with more this time of year, especially around bucks tied to does
- When to get aggressive as your hunting days run out
- Balancing the hunt with family, including Dan's daughter's wrestle-offs on Nov 12-13
- Dan's "sliding scale" on which deer to shoot
