As I noted last week, the rut is a fading flower across much of whitetail range, and recent severe winter weather will put food at the top of the whitetail list of basic needs now. </p> <p>That said, unbred does and a certain percentage of fawns will come into an estrous cycle this month. A few years back I noted a sudden spike in big buck kills around the 10th of December in my area. When I mentioned this to a hunting buddy he said &ldquo;happens every year at this time. And if you do the math, it makes sense. We&rsquo;re about one month past the peak breeding date.&rdquo; Since does &ldquo;cycle&rdquo; about every 28 days, it did make sense and I was embarrassed I hadn&rsquo;t figured it out on my own.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/finding-deer-hunt/2009/12/bestul-winding-down-rut">read more</a></p> Finding Deer to Hunt Where to Bow Hunt Whitetail Deer, Turkeys, Bear, and Big Game Deer Hunting Season When to Bow Hunt Whitetail Deer, Turkeys, Bear, and Big Game Deer Hunting Deer Hunting Tips How to Bow Hunt Whitetail Deer, Turkeys, Bear, and Big Game Hunting Whitetail 365 Deer Behavior Hanging Your Tree Stand While Bow Hunting Bow Hunting Whitetail Deer Trophy Bucks Bow Hunting Scott Bestul http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/finding-deer-hunt/2009/12/bestul-winding-down-rut#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:35:04 -0500 Online Editors 1001345343 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/deer-hunting/finding-deer-hunt/2009/11/cover-close-home-five-oddball-hiding-spots-l <!--paging_filter--><p>Yes, pressured late-season bucks typically seek remote, nasty cover.

Don&rsquo;t forget your compass. Assuming you know where you&rsquo;re going, you won&rsquo;t need the compass to get home. But you will need it to properly place the stand so you won&rsquo;t be blinded by the sun at dawn or dusk. When you find a likely spot, pull out the compass to determine east and west. This may seem obvious, but a lot of scouting is done in the middle of the day and the obvious might not occur to you&mdash;until you&rsquo;re on stand, squinting into the sun.</p> Finding Deer to Hunt Finding Elk, Bears, and Other Big Game Where to Bow Hunt Whitetail Deer, Turkeys, Bear, and Big Game Deer Hunting Hunting Big Game Hunting Deer Stands: Choosing and Hanging Tree Stands and Blinds Hanging Your Tree Stand While Bow Hunting Bow Hunting Whitetail Deer Bow Hunting Big Game Bow Hunting Quick Tips Marilyn Stone http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/deer-hunting/where-hunt-whitetail-deer/2009/08/scout-compass#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:46:47 -0400 Online Editors 1001333633 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/hunting/birds/where-hunt-turkeys-ducks-geese-pheasants-and-quail/2009/08/booth-babe-r <!--paging_filter--><p>There's a lot more to look at than just guns at the annual SHOT Show.
