I have been on the site for about a month now and have gained so much valuable knowledge. Ill start by thanking everyone for the time and effort they put into writing their stories and posting pictures as well as everyone who comes on just to offer some advice or suggestions for us newbies. You guys are awesome!
A little about my situation:
I was hunting in region 3 about a week and a half ago in an area that not many people had been in. I found a HUGE rub line and spent many days hunting it and the surrounding areas. There were a lot of tracks as well as fresh crap/fresh rubs all over that seemed to turn up but i went three days without even seeing a doe. I did find lots of fresh piles of crap that was clumped together and from my understanding that is from a doe in estrus? At this time there was no snow. I am going back to the area in just over a week (27th) and will be spending a few days nearby. There is likely lots of snow now.
Now for my question:
Would it be suggested that I pick a nice vantage point along the rub line and take a seat and wait and hope that the buck come strolling along or will it be too late in the rut? As I am quite new to this Im not too sure what the behavior is like once the rut is ending/over.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
