Monday 28 October 2013

Monday, October 21 was the day youth muzzleloader season started because youth hunters get an extra week to hunt. Muzzleloader is a type of gun that is manually loaded from the dangerous end of the gun. Youth hunting is people under the age of 18. I was going to go out to my hunting spot during the end of the week but unfortunately my dad got into a car accident on Tuesday, October 22 and had to get stitches on his forehead so that prevented us from going out. Hunting so early in the season though is not very good because none of the big bucks are moving. They usually stay bedded in a bushy area to get rest for the rut. The rut is when the big bucks really start moving because they are always following a hot doe around, a hot doe is a doe that is ready to breed. The rut usually starts in the beginning to the middle of November. So unless you get a really cold day where the bucks have to get up and move to stay warm then your not gonna see any good deer.
