WHERE BUCKS GO DURING THE RUT
Southern Deer Doctor
Editor’s Note: Dr. Larry Marchinton, a retired
professor of wildlife, from the University of Georgia
in Athens, Georgia, probably has written more on deer
behavior and movement than any other wildlife scientist.
 Marchinton
reports that, "If I only had one type of place
to hunt at any time of the year to try and take a big
buck but especially during the rut, I'd hunt funnel
areas. I know that funnel areas, which are
productive at any time of the year, tend to be the most
productive during the rut when bucks are on the move
and searching for does to breed. Even though bucks will
cover a wide expanse of territory during the rut to
breed does, most of the time to get from one woodlot
to another, the bucks will  move
through a funnel. If you're there, you can take him."
