Deer

November 23, 2012

By today, Nov. 23, most does have been bred where I live in southern Missouri – and throughout most of the whitetail’s range. There are exceptions including parts of Alabama, south Texas, etc. How can I say that confidently?

As usual, I’m hearing mixed reports about the intensity of the rut from different areas. I’ve received a BUNCH of email from GrowingDeer.tv fans that have tagged huge bucks in Kansas. Most of these pictures are accompanied by a note describing the intense rut action the hunter observed! Friends from other states are discussing the lack of deer rutting behavior they’ve observed this week. Mixed reports of rutting behavior from different areas are common each year.

Acorns attract more deer than any other food source.

Nothing gives a hunter a reason to smile like the onset of the fall rut. The rut remains the best time to snag a mature buck as they are more likely to move in daylight and will respond to a hunters’ calls.

For Indiana hunter Tim, grandpa's stand always had a special meaning to it. He decided to visit the stand since he hadn't been there in a few years. Halfway up the ladder his feet flew out from under him. He started tumbling down the tree, grabbing for anything to slow him down.
