These next couple weeks of November are peak rut season. The bucks will be going crazy, trying to breed with the does in the herd. They lose all sense of time and priorities, so they’ll be roaming around the woods at all hours of the day looking for a mate. Check out our guide, below, to learn how bucks behave during each week of the November rut season. If you can get out there in the next couple weeks, you might just be able to fire up some venison for your Thanksgiving table.

Check out our tips, below, for October calling strategies.

We’re right in the thick of rut season, so it’s time to break out those antler rattlers, ramp up the calling intensity and call in some doe-crazed bucks.
