Mineral sites are a great place to locate bucks this time of year. One of my favorite things to do on these warm summer nights is to sit behind my Vortex Optics spotting scope at sunset and watch the bucks pile into my Trophy Rock mineral site. The biggest bucks in the area are usually some of the first to come out, unlike during hunting season, this offers plenty of time to watch them and pick up on their mannerisms. Mineral sites are not only great for this, they also can play a very important part in a whitetail’s overall heath.

The time is now, the most magical time of year. The time of year that anything can happen, the time of year every whitetail hunter longs for, the Rut. The super bowl of whitetail hunting.

Hunting the rut is unlike any other hunting time of the year. It’s that time of year where you can sit a pinch point for 3 days straight and only see a doe or button buck, but just when your mental sanity can’t possibly take much more a 180-inch 12 point comes cruising thru on his search for the next hot doe.

There’s nothing quite like that first sit of the season. As hunters we have waited a grueling 7 to 9 months to hit the timber again chasing whitetails, depending on your location. You have spent your spring and summer scouting, planting plots, running trail cameras, and prepping hunting locations. Now it’s time for the moment of truth, opening day. While there is a lot to be excited about, keep in mind you can also do a lot of damage. When hunting early season whitetails, you must be smart and strategic.

There’s no better way to kick off the month of July then to get your trail cameras out to start locating bachelor groups and track down your next target buck. Sure, bucks have been growing antlers since the end of May, but July is the month we can really start to tell what kind of potential they will have as far as antler growth goes.
