RE: Whats the Best stand location during the Rut?
i scored on a rutting 9-point buck and my roommate almost scored on a nice 8 from the same stand that was situated on the top of a ridge. There were rubs all over the top and i later realized that i was hunting a saddle about 200 yards across. the does were bedding on the one side of the ridge and the bucks were lower in the thicker stuff. the scent from the ground was blowing down the hill right into the buck beds....a hot doe came by leaving her trail and an hour later the 9 point walked by andi let him have it....so between bedding areas seems like the best for me so far....good luck
