It’s the most magical time in the deer woods, the rut! If you’re still holding a buck tag you know the best is yet to come in terms of overall deer activity and you’re probably overflowing with optimism. Just because it’s the rut certainly doesn’t guarantee success and there are plenty of things you can do to swing the odds in your favor. While some tactics have been proven effective during this time of year, other factors must be considered if you want to increase your odds for success.

In this episode, Nick and The Doctor break down their rut hunting strategies and talk about what has worked best for them over their combined 80 years of deer hunting experience. They cover some of the more expected approaches as well as some you may not have thought of hoping to help you hang your tag on a buck this fall.

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
