stay in an area where you know there are deer and keep hunting....normally bucks do move during low light periods but during the rut (now) that's not always the case.....hormones raging they don't always follow the script....this past Tuesday me and my hunting partner were moving down a road in an area we've normally seen does in. right at 11:00 we come around the corner of the road and see this guy at 50 yards. I throw up the binos and tell him to shoot. the deer looks right at us, turns and keeps feeding on the grass growing alongside the road....now he's pointed straight away and he has no shot...once again the deer lifts his head to stare back at us then drops it to keep feeding on the grass. I keep the binos on the deer watching him and hear my buddy fumbling around doing his best to scare the deer off. finally the buck has enough and turns broadside wondering what these two fat pumpkins are doing staring at him- all the while my buddy cant find it in the scope (he says the sun was directly behind him and the glare kept him from seeing it). i'm just about to shoot it myself when boom goes he dynamite and the deer drops his front legs and plows up the hill 20 yards to his final resting spot. the rut makes them do crazy things. sorry about the crappy pic but it was taken on my "old school" phone
