I think hunting during the actual rut is a tough time to hunt. Trying to pattern them will be very tough. The bucks will be paired off with estrous does and they will not need to chase them.
During the pre-rut, I would definetely hunt areas that hold does.
I agree 110%!!
We have so many deer here in Wisconsin, whacked buck to doe ratio, in my unit where I hunt the Does go looking for the Bucks!
