Alright this may be a stupid question but this is my second season bow hunting and I'm still learning. So here is the question. The rut is starting to pick up now and it is in the seeking chasing phase I know this is the best time to be hunting but unfortunately I'm stuck 2 hours away from home with out my bow and a car. I was wondering if I will be missing all the best movement because I won't be able to hunt until the 16th? Will I miss the rut completely? Do I still have a chance to get a big mature buck up on his feet?
To make things harder for me. The neighbors from home have been sending me reports of seeing big bucks in my timber over the past week.
So am I going to miss out on everything?
