RE: Rut hunting: Field Edges or Timber ?
I hunt a little clearing in the back corner of the woods during the rut. I set up about 25 yards off the property line as there is a thicket right across the fence. The does are thick in there and they like to bed in there after a night in the fields. During the rut, this is the ticket. The Bucks swarm this area looking for does and does that are being chased usually run in there.
