by Gerald Almy ...................................................................................28
When the rut is over and mature bucks return to their nocturnal ways lucky hunters are far and few between. Finding ways to enjoy success in the late season is a big challenge.
Sweat the Small Stuff
by Jason Butler ..................................................................................32
Topnotch whitetail hunters pay close attention to details. These guys and gals take nothing for granted always demanding the most from themselves.
When the deer season starts to wind down mature bucks would often appear to have completely vanished. Veteran whitetail hunters recognize that outside of the rut many of these old boys are completely nocturnal. During the late season older age bucks rarely leave their secure bedding area until nightfall. Deer hunters with a tag left in their pocket need to pay close attention to late season food sources and watch the weather report for low pressure systems approaching. The challenge of Harvesting a mature whitetail buck in the late season requires a different strategy with a serious commitment and persistence!
