Ethan Givan Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Food sources. As the rut winds down the deer start concentrating on food to fatten up for the cold months. I would suggest scouting around food sources and see what kind of sign you find and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad dryden Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well im from Indiana I would hunt open corn feilds, food sources and right now alot of deer are kinda gun shy since shot gun season so I would hunt bedding areas as well.

ruttinbuc Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Cut bean and corn fields or planted winter wheat or rye. Preferably rye. In the timber try to find where the deer have been scattering the leaves for the acorns underneath. Hunt on the south side of slopes as it gets the most sun and the deer will concentrate there for the warmth. On cold windy days the lee or protected side of the hills will hold the deer. Look for funnels leading to these areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhbowhunter Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I take a slightly different approach. On public land I will actually still hunt escape corridors and security cover. The majority of hunters who are still out will be hunting food sources and there is a good chance that they will drive deer into security areas to avoid the last minute push from hunters. I shoot more deer on public land by patterning other hunters and then determining how the deer will react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 food.. if your in a state that allows baiting, and now the ruts over, you can get them to come to your feeders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 My biggest tip is to get out there every chance you get. Can't kill 'em from the couch. That and food sources or checking tracks in the snow if we ever get any. Find where trails cross or deer move heavy to/from food and ambush them. Good luck HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post rut I generally hunt close to thick cover in the mornings and food sources in the evenings. After days of chasing does and not eating, they'll try to fatten up a bit. A lot different down south though, no snow cover and hard freezes here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
