It was November 12th, 2016 and I had just slipped into the stand for an all day sit. The sun was set to rise in an hour, giving me roughly thirty minutes of enjoying my time in the darkness until it was light enough to see.

Across much of the country, a well timed cold front is blowing through here at the end of October. Cold temps, late October, and more mature buck movement signifies one thing - the rut is on the horizon. The "pre-rut" or the time of the year when does aren't necessarily ready to breed yet, but bucks are starting to ramp up is officially here. Subsequently, there will be more antlers rattled together and grunt tubes blown on in the next month than the rest of the year.

To hunt mornings or to not hunt mornings early in the hunting season? It's something that is debated among deer hunters, with most people having an opinion on if it's effective or not. Though there are times that morning hunting can work in the early portion of the season, there are also times where it could hurt you. Knowing when to hunt mornings, and how to hunt them early in the year is critical.

The month of October is finally upon us. For a deer hunter, October can mean a number of things. There's the "October Lull" which gets a lot of publicity, and there's the fact that mature bucks don't move a ton. But as the month goes on, and rubs and scrapes start appearing, our psyche can go from low to high with the impending rut nearing.

This blog post is by no means meant to bring you down in any way possible. But there's something I wanted to bring to your attention and talk about, and that revolves around targeting a specific buck. In just what I've seen, I see a lot of people that hunt a certain buck. Trail cameras play a large role with this, as you can more or less get to know a deer without ever seeing him. There's a lot talked about when it comes to this topic, but there's one thing in particular that I wanted to touch on.

For the deer hunter that pursues mature bucks, your opportunities are few are far between. Think about how many times a season you lay eyes on a mature buck, but even better yet, how many of those chances actually are within bow range? And of those chances, how many give you the ability to actually draw your bow back? And finally, of those encounters, how many times do you actually release an arrow? Yeah not often.

Recently, our friends Adam Crews from Chase The Mountain and Mike Higman from Hunting Gear Deals started a new series with their Down South Hunting Podcast comparing two vastly different types of scent control. The guys interviewed two very successful deer hunters, Dan Infalt and John Eberhart, who have completely different views on scent control, and how to use it when it comes to hunting mature bucks.

It was a steamy morning in southern Louisiana. Projected highs were in the mid 90s and the humidity was hovering around 85%, yet that still wasn’t enough to keep me home. Without a doubt, my scouting mission would provide many encounters with snakes, ticks, and horseflies the size of actual horses. But the trail cameras I had hung a month prior were calling my name. After all, it was mid-August, and it was time to get my hit list ready. With great anticipation, I set off for the nearly three mile hike.

I'm not sure how much I slept exactly last night. There was a little something on my mind, and it may have something to do with deer season... Oh that's right, it was the night before opening day! This afternoon, I will find myself perched in a tree, anxiously waiting to see my first deer of the year from a treestand.
