The rut gets all the attention, but if I know where the huge bucks are, I prefer to hunt them in delayed September or early October than any other time in the season.
In September, his world is petite. He has found a little place to sleep where he feels sheltered. He has not worried about hunters for over eight months. His world consists of sleeping, eating as much as possible, and avoiding the occasional predator. If you can get even a basic understanding of this deer, I am convinced that the first few weeks of fall are the absolute best time to tag him.
Of course, you need to know what they’re eating. Here are four of the best early-season deer foods to try.
