On this week's episode of Midwest Whitetail, we kick things off with Mike Reed in Iowa who enjoys a rut hunt with a big mature buck in Iowa. A textbook scenario of what hunters are looking for during the lock down portion of the rut, Mike dives into a few of his most important strategies that he will be paying attention to in the upcoming portions of the rut. From there, we jump to two perfect bow hunts in Missouri that feature how powerful implementing the right hunting tactics during the rut can be. Specifically, we watch as properly calling and decoying leads to two bucks down. First up in Missouri, we join Avery Epperson who heads out to the home farm in hopes of catching up with "Old Monroe". It isn't long before the guys lay eyes on the target and grunt him in for a shot over the green plot on the Home Farm. Also in Missouri, Mitch Mollerus heads out for redemption on a buck that he calls "Patches". After missing the buck a few days prior, Mitch heads out with the decoy in an attempt to get his biggest buck with a bow. We hope that you enjoy the episode and good luck in the upcoming hunts that you make!
