Mule Deer Rut Update & Buck Story

Rokcast

Robby hosts today's episode. He gives a Mule Deer Rut update and how it relates to the moon phase. Tapping into previously published whitetail research by the late Charles Alsheimer, Robby relates it to what he and other hunters have observed in the field. Robby also dives into a recent successful buck hunt and an unsuccessful one too, further illustrating the difference in simply moving in deer country and actual still-hunting. He also documents the furthest distance between two sightings of the same buck in the same season but outside of the migration. Even he was surprised. Finally, he talks about the typically necessary amount of time a hunter needs to give a fresh snow before looking for those big blocky tracks that make our hearts jump. He wraps up the episode with a discussion on "hunting burnout", something that is experienced by many hunters who push the limits. Learn to recognize burnout and how to keep it from ruining your hunt. From the mule deer rut update, to a buck story, to managing burnout, there is something for everyone in this episode.
