Ridge Hunter Outdoors Podcast

On this episode of Full Draw Friday, Canyon talks strategies for the rut lockdown. The lockdown can be a tough time to hunt. Bucks can be all but impossible to see, does are also in hiding, and overall movement can be very subdued. However, there are still plenty of mature bucks taken every year during this phase. A lot of them are taken using the tactics discussed in this episode. Implement them this year and see if they work for you too!
