To confront a rutting buck, it still comes down to being at the right place at the right time

Over the past three weeks I’ve done a lot of archery hunting for whitetails, especially the past two weeks, which was that special period of time when love-worn bucks would be seeking females to spread their genetic makeup.   I hunt with a companion who takes a week’s vacation from his job to pursue male deer during this heightened timeframe of encountering a roaming buck at any daylight hour.
