Description

In this episode, the Alex is joined by Jacob Dykes of MSU Deer Lab for a deep, practical breakdown of the whitetail rut. Jacob explains how buck and doe behavior shifts as breeding kicks in, how bedding and movement patterns change, and what hunters should pay attention to as fresh sign appears. He also brings science-backed insight from his work at MSU to highlight why deer do what they do during each phase of the rut, while offering clear, effective strategies hunters can use to capitalize when deer movement is at its peak.
