Pre Rut Hunting Strategy

[@bryanmoorefield8890]

I’m 66 retired and hunt last week October and first 3 weeks of November all day every day. Life is great. Waited my adult life for this opportunity. I never miss pre rut or rut

[@whitetailevolution]

Best time of the year!

[@BiggerAlan]

Happy hunting!

[@mikemacdude]

Now that's living! Enjoy, you earned it! good luck this season.

[@virtuaguyverify]

Living the dream, good luck this year and many more!

[@waynesly6116]

I have also had great luck in pre rut with calling and light rattling. It has at least tripled my odds of success.

[@whitetailevolution]

I think I need to practice my rattling. Never had a buck come into it here.

[@johnschulteis7304]

Condensed rock solid info useful in developing my pre rut and rut strategies.

[@whitetailevolution]

Thanks John ! Appreciate it.

[@FullThrottle-0-100]

Awesome, spot on content! Thank you and like all of us good luck this season from southern Illinois.

[@scottclark1168]

Really good break down of the pre-rut,love this time of year,great video and good luck buddy

[@whitetailevolution]

Thanks Scott!! Seeing a few younger 2 year old bucks. Waiting to see if the big boy shows himself. Good luck to you as well!

[@chasingalaska3997]

Yes, alot of good points. No matter how good of a hunter you think you are and a the homework you've done, someone has done even more extensive research then you. I like watching these videos to gain more information

[@whitetailevolution]

Thanks! And you are right, we all have more to learn and should try to make sure we are listening to others experiences. We can't move forward if we think we know it all..

[@itsmitch85]

Great video and great visual representation of ideal stand locations. You earned my sub! Thanks!

[@whitetailevolution]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@Tapphouse]

Really like more info on the pond setups. I’m currently hunting a hilly area with two ponds very close together, but unsure how to setup in this area, any advice? Thanks!

[@whitetailevolution]

Glad it helped! Those are great pinches

What's the source for the weather/temp/precip/pressure/wind info you show at 14:38?

[@whitetailevolution]

Weather Underground .com

[@Eastky23wildlife]

Does making licking beaches on cored or trails improve holding 🦌,?

[@whitetailevolution]

Yes and no, I don't think having a licking branch or a scrape on your property will make a buck want to bed there, but having them on your property will keep him busy while he works the scrapes. The more time he spends on your property, the less time he spends on the neighbors.

Thank you and we will!

[@kevinflaherty7592]

Going to be warmer than normal here in PA.highs near 70 lows 45 to 50 at night.i am finding a definite increase in rubs and scrapes.would you still hunt with these conditions? And would you hunt morning or evening? Today is Oct 23

[@Iamthatguy01]

I would also like to see some feedback on this. I consider thermals when hunting, especially when the days are much warmer than the mornings m. When the days are warmer, I prefer to hunt morning time so my scent is lifted up by the air warming up (thermals) from the rising sun.

[@whitetailevolution]

I would hunt mornings. Sorry for the late reply but in the cooler weather mornings will be good before it heats up in the afternoon. Movement might pick up right before dark too. Stay tight to pinch points and thick transitional cover. Also WATER! Bucks are moving a lot and will seek out water anyways but when we add this heat to the mix, place a premium on those water sources!!

Very welcome!

Great video. Very informational thank you.

[@whitetailevolution]

Anytime and thank you!

[@baims8367]

A RUB LINE AND ESPECIALLY A FRESH RUB LINE IS USUALLY A GOOD SPOT TO SET UP OVER. A RUB LINE THAT IS

[@whitetailevolution]

Great tips! I know guys that set up on rub lines and have success!

[@donjaun1423]

will bucks go in a feild to attack or latch on to a decoy?

[@lwdeer1]

Great video, to the point!

[@whitetailevolution]

Thanks Lori!

[@lewisa6082]

I want to know what type of camera you used to get those video's, and the set up.

[@whitetailevolution]

I primary use two cameras for the videos. The Exodus Lift II and Browning Dark Ops Full HD. Both are great cameras and don't spook deer often, if at all. The set up for most of the videos is on a perennial scrape where several main trails come together.

[@lewisa6082]

@@whitetailevolution Thanks for your reply!

[@jjm5260]

How do I know what is my best stand

[@whitetailevolution]

That will vary by the time of day and the wind. for the most part Mornings hunt the cover, afternoons hunt the food. Always hunt downwind.

[@kevinflaherty7592]

Looking for a new camera tried spypoints wasn't happy with it.any ideas?

[@scottotten9619]

Tactacam

[@TeddyChed]

I second Tactacam.

[@kevinflaherty7592]

Thank you I'll check them out

[@whitetailevolution]

I third Tactacam! Scott and Josh are right on. Rarely have issues and they are the most cost effective cell camera for their quality.

[@jensenwismar9310]

Is there and email I can send an Arial view on my property and have you give me some feedback on

[@Iamthatguy01]
