September food sources & Cold Fronts

Rut Report presented by North American Deer Hunter

Carbon Score: 7.3

Early season whitetails can be patterned, and tend to move mostly in the evenings, leaving their bedding areas to arrive at their main food source by dusk. The main food source, typically a large agricultural field, is where most deer on a property will congregate and feed together through the night. There is a multitude of tactics that can be used when bow hunting in the early season…but it all revolves around summer patterns. September bow hunting gives the hunter a brief (1-3 week depending on the state, start date, and area) window to catch bucks still on their summer pattern. Everything about a buck’s summer range revolves around food…more so food, cover, and security, but together comprising the buck’s small core area during the summer months, and the first part of September is a recipe for a great opportunity to harvest a mature buck.
