We are now in what some people call the lock-down stage of the rut. It is a tough time to catch mature bucks out cruising. I have been talking with a lot of bowhunters and they all say the same thing: they are seeing a few chases and a lot of dead time. I am not going to offer a lot of hope because I have yet to find a good way to hunt this phase of the rut. But, it will end soon enough and then things will get better again. Also, with gun seasons opening in a lot of states, I offer a few tips on where to sit and how long to stay on stand. Taking gun hunting tips from a bowhunter is a bit iffy, at best, so take these with a grain of salt! Good luck and hang in there.
