Bow Hunting | How to Kill a Post-rut, Late Season Buck

Bow Hunting Late Season Bucks



The flood of buck pictures on Facebook has ceased. The gun shots have stopped and orange hats have returned to their long dark year in a box. You may be getting nervous with that tag burning a hole in your pocket. Fortunately for you, this is one of the best times to bow hunt! Sure some bucks have been shot, hopefully not your mature shooter…but there are still a lot left out there. Late season and the post rut are when bucks develop a pattern again, exploiting this during the late bow hunting season is easy…if you know how and where to look.

Core area

With the cold biting wind and snow setting in, the buck restricts his movements back into his core area…and yes he still has breeding on his mind when the chance is given to him. The cold and hunting pressure have pushed his pre-rut home range expansion back into his small and safe core area. This makes him easy to pattern but hard to get close to, especially while bow hunting.
