Summary

In this episode, Zach and Jake talk about some of their experiences hunting during the peak of the rut when many mature bucks are "locked down" with does. This can be a frustrating time of the season but if you know where bucks hide when they do find a hot doe you can take advantage of the vulnerable places they go!

Hey everybody, on this episode, Jake and I are going to be taking a little break from

0:05.3

our hunt today and we're going to be talking about lockdown tactics for the middle part

0:11.1

of November.

0:12.1

It's one of those time frames that gets kind of a negative reputation a lot of times and

0:17.5

it's funny because it's actually our favorite time of the year to hunt I think is a THP

0:21.7

group.

0:22.7

We would choose that middle of November time frame to bow hunt over any other time.

0:28.7

1:16.7

try to think of places that bucks take those or you're going to want to take those to

1:22.6

get them away from other deer, I think it's going to help you find them a lot.

1:27.1

I think the main reason people dread the lockdown, similar to why people dread the October
