Game of Minutes

Author: Steve Bartylla

It’s been said many times that literally everything can change, when hunting, in a matter of minutes. Heck, you can make a great case that it’s really a matter of seconds, particularly during the rut. All it takes is a hot doe or a buck determined to rage rub a tree or trash that mock scrape, and the game has gotten way more interesting, in just a matter of seconds. The exact same applies to whether that buck simply jumps that line and fence a handful of minutes before or after dark. He does it before and he is at risk. If we can get him to burn an extra 2 minutes on our side, it just may be the difference, and we can often do way better than just 2 minutes! Here’s exactly how I use a combo of licking branches and full-blown mock scrapes to further help achieve exactly that.

Buck in a field

Cochran Early Season 169 Buck

Hunter: Andrew Cochran Cameraman: Mack Raikes Date: Sept 15 – Opening Day Missouri Archery Antler King Mix: Honey Hole/Lights Out Forage Oats Wind Direction: Southwest History: No past years history with the buck. He started showing up on trail cameras daily about a week before opening day of the Missouri archery season. The Setup: Textbook food plot setup to harvest an early season buck. A 1/4 acre Antler King plot butted up against a two-acre standing soybean plot. The deer were bedding in the timbered draw just to the west of the Antler King plot. Expecting the deer to come up out of the draw to feed, the box blind was placed within archery range, southeast of the timbered draw, and exactly in between the soybean plot and Antler King plot. Access to the blind was from the southeast. As the evening shadows began covering the Antler King plot, the deer started coming up out of the draw and into the cooler, shadowed areas of the plot to feed. This heavy-massed buck trailed behind the other deer that were already feeding in the Antler King and the shot was 30 yards. The deer was down within 100 yards and was recovered shortly after dark.

Notes From the Deer Woods: Mock Scrapes For Drawing and Positioning Bucks

Author: Steve Bartylla The outfitter I was consulting for thought I was nuts. As part of my compensation, I was allowed to hunt a remote, hard-to-access area he controlled. Truly a nice area, just really hard to access and harder to hunt safely and effectively. I’d been playing cat and mouse with a solid 4-year-old eight and I was asking him if he’d mind if I cut and “planted” a small tree in an open food source I was hunting. I explained that I believed it would allow me to tag out that night.
