Success in the Snow and Wise to Weather
by Bruce Ingram ..............................................................................42
Late season deer hunting can be cold, and it's not everyone's preference. However, if you meet this task head on, the end results can be very productive!
When November rolls around, the whitetail buck is at the height of his sexual drive. This is the period when making scrapes out of frustration is most common. The rage of aggression can plainly be seen where the ground has been torn up by their hooves. Most every scrape will have a low hanging bush or limb above it, so the buck can reach it with his antlers. These small limbs or branches above the scrape are always broken indicating the buck was very aggressive in his actions. At this time of year, he is strong and in the best possible contition. You must describe the whitetail buck as a truly majesty animal during the rut!
