The Rut Is Overrated Killing Your Target Buck During The Rut

With the rut truly in full swing in Iowa, we have been seeing bucks going crazy! So what does that mean if you are gunning for your target buck? Trying to pin him down can be a nightmare, but it can still be done. We wanted to break down hunts we have had in past seasons for our big targets and hone in on strategies that paid off. From hunting water during hot weather, to sitting only one stand, to even taking days off to scout, we have tried it all. The rut can be the toughest times to kill a deer, but it can be one of the best for finding new bucks to hunt after! What do you guys think, is the rut overrated?
