An empty freezer, depression, and an itchy trigger finger? All signs from a bow hunter’s worse fear…unfilled tags. You are not alone, this year was slow for everyone. Unseasonably warm temperatures have taken a toll on all stages of the rut this year. Worse yet, it is spilling over into the late season. This year the odds are stacked against you, compressing your hunting into the last week or two of the season. This is your last ditch effort…make it count!
The late season is usually an anticipated time of the year as opportunities for harvesting a mature buck start to surface. Again this year has proved difficult, even so the cold temperatures will arrive and with it your only chance at filling your tag and freezer. Luckily late season bucks express similar characteristics and patterns of their former early season, velvet totting self. The bed-feed-bed cycle has once again taken over. This enables a bow hunter to apply the same principle hunting tactics of the early season to the late season. However, there are some major differences to take note of.
