Apr 5, 2022 · What Happened to the 2021 Rut? The 2021 deer hunting season left many whitetailers with questions and data now proves it wasn't a “normal” year in some places.

- Find the Does. Your next move might not require a move at all if you have scouted well. During the breeding or lockdown phase, bucks relentlessly search for estrus females.
- Hunt the Downwind Sides. Keep in mind that during the breeding phase, bucks become highly efficient. Instead of boldly walking across a field, they might skirt the downwind edges or inside corners to scent-confirm any estrus females.
- Find a Love Nest. You do have another option and whether you make it your main play or a backup, consider looking for a buck love nest. Once bucks find a doe, do they want to parade it through a crowd of potential suitors, or spend more time alone?
- Find a Drifter. By scouting and setting up stands or blinds near highly visited food plots, agricultural fields or the routes in between, you stand a high chance of meeting up with a home territory buck.

- HUNTING MEMORIES. Why It Happens: Daddy killed a whopper from the Monster Stand back during President Obama's first term, so you always hunt there, even though it hasn't produced in several years.
- NOT CALLING AGGRESSIVELY. Why It Happens: Deer hunters are trained to be in über-stealth mode at all times, and that's certainly a smart approach, but some take it too far by not ramping up their calling intensity during the rut.
- HUNTING RUBS INSTEAD OF RUB LINES. Why It Happens: Big rubs have the tendency to get us all excited. However, they only tell you where bucks have been, not where they are.
- MISUSING SCENTS. Why It Happens: Premium estrous scents are spendy, so some hunters opt for the cheap stuff, assuming deer pee is deer pee. As with most things, you get what you pay for.
