Where Mr. GregH hunts.

Where Mr. GregH says.

Definately hunt where the does are, want to be and travel. The bucks will be there looking, traveling and running BUT, what part of the rut are you asking about. There are certain phases of the rut that you want to hunt different than the others.

HUNTS

IL ya know

yeh im talking more toward the pre rut i hunt by scrapes and rub lines but i havnt been having any luck with that so what should i do keep hunting them

You can bet that`s where i`ll be

where the does are or at the funnels. they will get to the does, or they will travel the funnels between the doe populations

Our best rut stand the last few years is in a lone tree in the middle of a grown up secluded field. My dad sawseven bucks in a few hours one day last year. He arrowed a very big9 point there. My brothers and I were in the woods and saw nothing. It was on the next to the last day of the archery season, around November 12, I believe.
Another hint is that when the does are getting chased, they like open woods, so that they don't feel trapped by all the bucks chasing them.
Find a major trail in open woods or grown up fields.

What about if you havent seen many does this year.. because I havent... so where should i go...???
