Scouting your hunting property in the early season to learn where feeding, bedding and watering holes are is an important aspect in planning the fall hunt. Game and trail cameras can vastly improve your knowledge of the deer herd on your hunting property. Locate the cameras near active travel areas and near edges of heavy cover. Once the rut kicks in, you can watch for rubs and scrapes indicating key traffic areas. Read further below for more details on recognizing rut activity inlcuding scrapes and rubs.

Ten Point Buck

Wildgame Innovations - Game and Trail Cameras Reveal Deer Feeding Activity

It takes patience, hard work and time in the woods to produce results like this fine 10 point buck. This buck was following a doe and grunting in a hardwood bottom. The doe was looking back behind her direction of travel, which was the first clue that she might have a buck following her. A short time later this big buck came following behind making a deep grunting sound. Observing and interpreting the behavior of the doe allowed the hunter to be prepared when the buck stepped out. Also, a good tracking dog is always an asset when searching for a buck in heavy cover. In this case, the tracking dog's work was made easy since the hunter made a clean shot allowing for a quick and easy recovery.

Game cameras can provide detailed accounts of deer activity and movement. The new breed of infra-red cameras capture night time activity without spooking game or making the big bucks wary. Utilize a game camera to learn more about the deer herd where you hunt and you might be surprised what you will learn. Of course, keep in mind that what shows up on camera may only be a fraction of the total number of deer in the area.

Patience is the key to taking big bucks. Hunting seasons span a variety of weather conditions, food source changes and breeding cycles. The rut is the most important of these changes since the bucks may be more likely to let down their guard and give up their nocturnal movements and begin to move in daylight hours. Timing is the key to taking advantage of these events. A dark moon and a cold front can be enough to trigger a change in movement patterns. Look for the big bucks in heavier cover in the early and late parts of the season corresponding to pre an post rut activities.

Buck Scrapes - Fall Rut Activity

Wildgame Innovations - Hunting in the vicinity of a recently created scrape can yield postive results.

The center of this photos shows a well used scrape. The hunter is keeping his distance and looking for signs that the buck has visited the scrape recently. Notice the leaves have been cleared away by the buck and you can typically see hoof scrape marks in the soil. Look for a tree trunk "rub" in the nearby areas. A tree "rub" is made when the buck rubs his antlers against the tree to mark his territory and leave his scent. Scents, game calls and deer lures can be used (refer to your local game regulations) as a natural attractant to increase the chances for deer activity in your area, and to bring them in close.

This photo shows a close up view of the scrape shown above. The leaves are cleared away and hoof marks can be seen in the soil. Scrapes are often located beneath and overhanging branch that just touches the tips of the buck's antler tines. Be sure not to walk near or through the scrape to avoid leaving your scent. The buck will check the scrape often to see if a receptive doe may have left her scent in the scrape.

Many hunters choose hunting locations based on ease of access or a beautiful location on the property. The most attractive places will not always match up with where the deer travel. This is why it is inportant to learn the property. Years of experience on the same property can sometimes allow more seasoned hunters to predict when and where the deer will be most active. Time in the woods and knowledge of deer behavior will improve your chances of taking a big buck.

Buck Tree Rubs - Fall Rut Activity

Wildgame Innovations deer feed supplements work near tree rubs are a sure sign of buck rutting activity. Use Wildgame Innovations products to optimize your experience in the woods.

This photo shows a close up view of a tree rub. The tree's bark has been rubbed of by the deer pressing his antler tines against the trunk and rubbing back and forth across the bark. You can sometimes see tine marks in the bark where the buck has pushed the tips of his antler tines into the tree bark. It is generally thought that the larger the diameter of tree the buck chooses to rub against, the larger the buck's antlers. The rub pictured here is fresh (meaning it was done recently) since the moist tree sap is weeping from the trunk and the surface is moist. The light coloration is also an indication that the rub was made in the last day or two. Hunting near a fresh tree rub is typically a sound strategy for taking a good buck..

Careful planning to manage the scents you are exposed to in the process of getting dressed and traveling in your vehicle can ensure you are scent free allowing you to hunt out of virtually any stand location. The use of carbon activated scent damping sprays and scent control clothing can also help you remain concealed with wildlife in close proximity. The best strategy for managing scent is to do what's most practical under the given circumstances to contain, control and minimize odors - and just enjoy your time in the woods.
