HOW TO HUNT BIG WOODS BUCKS IN THE PRE-RUT | Mountain Buck Scouting Series | Ep. 08

Part 8 of 10: Deer hunting for big woods mountain bucks can be some of the most difficult hunting there is for whitetails. In this 10 part series, Beau Martonik breaks down how to scout and hunt these whitetails in the Appalachian Mountains that most of us call home in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, New York and more.
In this episode, Beau walks through his strategy to hunting big woods mountain bucks during the pre-rut (Late October). He discusses and walks through his tactics for finding scrapes with e-scouting, real examples of boots on the ground scouting, trail camera placement, stand setups for mornings and evenings, finding buck bedding, identifying food sources, community scrapes and more!
DISCLAIMER - TO PROTECT OTHERS THAT MIGHT HUNT THESE AREAS ALL MAPS AND DRONE FOOTAGE ARE NOT FROM THE AREA I ACTUALLY SCOUTED. THEY ARE JUST EXAMPLES THAT LOOKED VERY SIMILAR.

I can definitely dig some pre rut action. Last year I saw a bunch of does and some smaller bucks in October. Sadly the biggest buck that I saw last year was Oct 24th the first day of early doe rifle season and I had the wrong weapon in my hand. I joked with my Dad and told him that I might take his new for this year crossbow during that season just in case that happens again.
