I’m hooked now.

The latest kill was on a steep slope covered in blowdown and pecker pole. It is a travel zone during the rut, useless the rest of the yr.
Not bait related.

Average hunter does not grasp how much ground a buck will travel in the rut.
Every area is different.

This area has low density numbers so it makes sense bucks put on their walking shoes come the rut.

Third buck from this strategic spot.

Not bait related.
