Idaho Deer Hunts are most successful when early scouting on the private ranch is performed with discipline to look for sign.
Looking for early season signs while out scouting for whitetail deer on our private ranch last evening, I saw a few very nice bucks. This time of year whitetail deer are in a very reliable summer feeding pattern and will continue to be so until the middle of September.
This is the primary reason why its important to do your homework as an Idaho Deer Outfitter. Certain behaviors observed among bucks provide insight as to when the whitetail deer will shed their velvet and go to their traditional fall habitat, getting ready for the rut.
Whitetail bucks will lose a large percentage of their body weight during the rut so it is important for the bucks to find good sources of food throughout the summer to bulk up.
During this time of year while scouting and watching their feeding habitats, it’s typical for groups of bucks to be traveling together. We call them bachelor groups. As soon as fall comes, those bachelor groups cease and it will be every buck for himself, as the pursuit of love or something close to that will trump all boyhood bonds.
