Y'all know what time of year it is and we're getting it down here in the South

It's just getting hot for us down here as far as the rut goes and hey

If you're kind of trying to figure out some new places to go

Maybe the rut's over in your area you want to go find a new rut somewhere

Maybe you want to go to a different part of the state if you live down here

Maybe you're from out of state wanting to come down here. I'll tell you a really good tool to use is the southern rut heat map

Under the wildlife layers tab on on ex hunt again

It's a southern rut heat map and it's exactly what it sounds like you turn it on and it's a heat map

Showing you where the rut is happening and win across the southeast

Fun nominal tool a lot of people say Alabama has like a January rut

Well only parts of Alabama have a January rut not all of Alabama has that so you can use that heat map to fine tune and figure out

Exactly where the rut is happening and when it is happening and hey

You're probably kind of rough on gear. I mean, I know that I've personally dropped my binoculars out of my tree stand before

Well in case something like that happens vortex optics has you covered with their VIP warranty

This has got to be one of my favorite parts about vortex if you accidentally break your gear

They will repair or replace it no questions asked

It's also a lifetime warranty

So if you bought some binos, you know 10 years ago and you break them this year

They will replace it that gives me peace of mind knowing that this nice piece of equipment that I've invested in is covered

So if something happens to it, I know I'm not going to have to go and spend all that money all over again
