The Transition (FTPO)
As I wrote in my first book, “Aggressive Whitetail Hunting”, the reason why hunting can be so tough during this time frame has to do with something I’ve come to refer to as “The Transition”.

As I wrote in my first book, “Aggressive Whitetail Hunting”, the reason why hunting can be so tough during this time frame has to do with something I’ve come to refer to as “The Transition”.
I think it’s safe to say that just about all whitetail deer hunters, especially bowhunters, consider grunt calls and/or rattling antlers to be a necessary part of their deer gear.
In my first book, Aggressive Whitetail Hunting, I wrote that I’ve heard deer hunters refer to funnels by several different names.
I’ve had the unique privilege of being able to spend time and talk with many of the most successful trophy whitetail hunters in North America.
One question I’m often asked by other hunters is how early in the fall do bucks establish rub lines?
In Chapter Five of my book, Aggressive Whitetail Hunting, I wrote that much of the frustration and low hunter success rates during the post rut period are simply because hunters lack understanding.
In my book, “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, I wrote a chapter entitled, “When Deer Disappear. That chapter chronicled what happens when the first couple days of the gun season are history, and you’re still in possession of an unfilled tag.
In Chapter 11 of my book, “Rub Line Secrets”, I wrote that hunters have long been led to believe that mature bucks never travel along their rub-lines during the rut.
Most deer hunters know that there are any number of strategies that can prove effective during gun season. But in my book, “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, I wrote about one that I’ve found to be especially deadly.
In Chapter Seven of my book, “Rub Line Secrets”, I wrote that finding active rub lines isn’t a guarantee that you’re going to kill monster bucks.
In Chapter Nine of my book, “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, I wrote that just about everyone out there has at one time or another heard the old saying, “timing is everything”.
In my book, \”Aggressive Whitetail Hunting\”, I wrote that the early fall/transition phase is the toughest part of the season in which to try and harvest a whitetail buck.
In Chapter 7 of my book, “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, I wrote about a topic that every trophy whitetail hunter can relate to. That topic concerns nocturnal bucks.
In my third book, “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, I wrote that whitetail deer often have been described as edge creatures.
Ahhh….the rut! The mere mention of the word is enough to speed up any serious deer hunter’s heart rate.
