Post-Rut is most often forgotten by many deer hunters.
In the northern part of the USA, Post Rut occurs during the some of the coldest times of the year. Perhaps this is why some deer hunters choose to forget Post Rut.
Regardless of the thermometer reading outside, Post Rut deer hunting action can be extremely hot.
When Does Post-Rut Begin?
Doe deer not bred successfully during Pre Rut and Main Rut will go into estrus 28 days after Main Rut. Count out 28 days from Main Rut and you will be smack dab in prime Post Rut deer hunting action.
There will be fewer doe deer going into estrus during Post Rut than during Main Rut, because most does are bred during Main Rut.
Sign of Post Rut Activity
One tell-tale sign of Post Rut is a quick increase in deer activity.
Doe deer in Post Rut estrus show more aggressive approaches to finding breeding bucks.
You may notice doe deer trotting along and stopping frequently to deposit estrus urine.
Set up your deer blind or tree stand nearby. Make sure you are down wind of where the deer activity is taking place.
Doe deer in Post Rut estrus become more vocal, using soft grunts more frequently, trying to catch the attention of bucks in the area.
Bucks in the area that whiff the estrus pheromone quickly swarm the estrus doe. It is quite possible to have several bucks chasing one doe. It is as if the bucks realize this is the last hurrah for the year.
Who knows, you could be faced with the option of which buck to shoot.
