Do you have a favorite day to be in the woods? A day you will not miss.

10 Whitetail Experts Share Their Favorite Day of the Rut | Deer Hunting | The whitetail rut is a magical time to be in the woods. I reached out to 10 whitetail connoisseurs who have a track record for killing big bucks to see what their favorite deer day is – and the responses were surprising. The most compelling find was the wide range of answers, which went from October 28 to November 23.
