Identifying your bedding areas

Vocalizations and calling
Unbred bucks are more likely during the rut to pass on their unbred offspring because they have less energy. This is the best time to use vocalizations to attract bucks. Mature bucks will seek out unbred doe during the second estrus. They will also be more interested in winter food. The call patterns can be matched to the rut phase.

Here are some tips to find a buck hunting in a "rut".
