Well, you shoot em if your not out there! I say take to the woods. There isn' t a whole lot you can do but wait them out. Here is one thing that I' ve found though. If you can locate two know bedding areas that are a good distance from one another, try setting up between them. Make sure you can sneak into the area without being heard or seen and certainly don' t go through the bedding areas, but if you can get in there undetected during mid morning and setup you have a prime location during the rut.

The buck will be antsy this time of year and often they' ll be moving from bedding area to bedding area to wind for hot doe' s. If you' re between a couple of these beds, you stand a good chance of running across one.

Don' t sweat it though, the more time you spend in the woods, the better your chances.

good luck
