Show Notes
The rut is about to kick in, and Dan and Jason T. break down what the next week of whitetail season looks like. This is part one of a two-part series, covering Friday, Oct 30 through Saturday, Nov 7.
They start with the weather. Several days of rain are coming through the Midwest, followed by a big cold front and a drop in temperature. Dan explains why he sees the first days of November as the best of the pre-rut, and why he'll sit in the rain even though he hates it, because deer get up and freshen their scrapes in the breaks. They also take on a listener question: if your PTO is flexible, would you trade two rainy days this week for Nov 9–10?
They cover how each of them runs trail cameras right now, and how to use scrapes, staging areas and doe groups this week. They also go through calling without overdoing it and rotating your stands. Dan shares the first mature buck to daylight on his camera this season. They also talk through what to do with a big buck that only shows up between 1 and 3 AM.
