Default Never fear, 2nddary rut is near!

At least for some of us in the midwestern states. Our 3 day muzzleloader season appears soon, and around that time I start noticing more bucks looking for does again and doing more traveling. Its a good time to be out and about finding places you might not have hunted earlier, many times the deer are freqenting areas they seldom did earlier, and generally there are less bowhunters out because they either tagged out, are burnt out, or just plain don't like the cold weather. Sometimes my areas become even better simply because they are back after playing pinball with the firearm hunters in other areas. The last 2 weeks of December can be some of the best bowhunting around and I will be out there. I just have to do some more homework is all. Good luck to all who are out in the late season!
