The rut is the most exciting (and arguably unpredictable!) time of year to be in a deer stand. Join us for a free webinar focused on proven rut-hunting strategies tailored to Illinois whitetails. We’ll break down the different phases of the rut: pre-rut, peak, and post-rut, explaining how bucks behave during each. From chasing and tending to lockdown, understanding buck movement patterns during this period is key to tagging that elusive mature buck.
We’ll also explore how terrain features such as pinch points, bedding edges, and travel corridors influence buck movement, and how to interpret signs like scrapes, rubs, and fresh tracks to adjust your plan in real-time.
Whether you’re bowhunting close to bedding cover or positioning near a doe group with your shotgun, this webinar will equip you with the tools to hunt smarter during the most crucial window of the season. If you’re ready to make this rut count, register now and may the odds be ever in your favor.
