If there’s one type of whitetail environment that seems to give hunters more trouble than any other, it’s hill country.
I’ve long had an infatuation with antler rubs and rub-lines. And in 1999, that infatuation eventually lead me to write and release my third book, “Rub-Line Secrets”.
I’m sure that just about everyone out there has heard the old saying, “timing is everything”. It’s a sure bet that serious trophy whitetail hunters know just how pertinent that saying is to our sport.
In recent years especially I’ve come to believe that the sort of mental outlook a person has can have a tremendous bearing on whether or not they will be a successful deer hunter.
From information I’ve gathered over the past 20 plus years, it’s apparent that some deer hunter’s still have a problem figuring out exactly when the big bucks their hunting have transitioned from pre-rut behavior into full rut mode.
Even though the early season can test hunters’ patience and knowledge, more hunters seem to far prefer this time over the post-rut period.
As I wrote in my book “Proven Whitetail Tactics”, core areas are those places inhabited by big bucks during non-breeding or non-stressful times.
If I’ve learned one thing from my many talks with deer hunters, it’s that hunters everywhere are steadily being forced to pursue whitetails on smaller and smaller tracts of land.
If there was one chapter from any of my five books that I would consider to be required reading for every aspiring trophy whitetail hunter, it would be a chapter from my first book, “Aggressive Whitetail Hunting”. That chapter is entitled “Pursuing Individual Bucks”.
