Breaking the Rut Mindset

Quote: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The rut is months behind us, but many hunters still think in rut-heavy terms—scrapes, chasing, and doe bedding areas. It’s time to shift focus and start thinking about how deer move in the spring and summer months, which are vastly different from fall patterns.

Tip: Study non-rut behaviors by tracking how deer use travel corridors, food sources, and water in the offseason. This will help you plan more well-rounded strategies for next fall.

Takeaway: Understanding deer outside of the rut makes you a better year-round hunter.
