A couple of interesting themes arise in this episode: calling bucks and arrows deflecting off a buck’s front leg. Lots of rut hunting action and the guys track down their kills.
Josh Tatum takes a great Kansas buck during the second rut peak in late November. This time frame can be very productive in states with limited gun pressure in November.
Mike Reed calls in a great public land buck with a snort-wheeze after his first attempts with the grunt call go ignored. Increasing the intensity of the calling can sometimes produce results.
Mike Reed makes good on a long shot across a Big N Beasty field to fill his bow tag and Luke Nissen waits with muzzleloader in hand for an early winter cold front to push bucks into feeding in daylight.
