Oh I have hunted the rut. I have walked up to bucks with their noses to the ground while they was following a doe. They didn't think nothing of me. When they are in full rut,They are by far the easiest anddumbest animal in the woods to hunt. If there is no doe around to alert him when in full rut. That buck is good as dead to who ever wants him.
Yes,I have hunted the rut.
