I must pose the question (to add to previous question), "How do rutting "mature" bucks cruise these areas?"

Do they always keep the wind to there nose while rutting? Do they keep wind to their nose while walking out of thick cover into an opening while cruising for does? I know rutting bucks just like early fall bucks will leave bedding on certain trails, but when the rut kicks in, do they leave these beds (no matter which way they are going, whether it be cruising for does or to feed) with the wind at their back or nose? Which is more likely in your experience?

Thanks, LT
