Early Season Bowhunting Strategies

With season fast approaching, it’s that time of the year when hunters start putting together their game plan for the season opener. A lot of these plans revolve around those velvet giants we’ve been watching all summer in the soybean fields, showing up like clockwork and giving some hunters a false hope for early season success. Even though the bachelor groups of summer have been very predictable for weeks or even months, there’s a change about to take place and you better be prepared for it if you want to wrap your tag around an opening day buck. At this...

If deer season opened up next week, how prepared are you right now? I know, it’s only the first week in July and the opener is 3 months away, but how ready are you? Have you found a buck you are interested in harvesting yet? Do you know where you have the best chance of getting a shot at him once season begins?

If I had to pick my favorite month to hunt “Monster Bucks” it would have to be October! Yeah, you heard right, October, not November. 

The October Lull…..sounds a little depressing doesn’t it! Not nearly as popular a word with whitetail hunters as something like “The Rut”! Probably because it is just that, a lull in activity that happens somewhere between the first week of October and ends a week or so before Halloween.
