Your October Whitetail Buck Strategy???

[Sam McMichael]

I don't make any radical changes. My regular stand locations already follow the girls, so I just wait till the boys show up.

I killed my first P&Y class Buck on Oct 15th many years ago by rattling.

I usually wait till November also. It's usually to hot here in Alabama and sweat and whitetails don't mix. I look for hot whiteoak acorn trees. The ones that look like a rototiller has been around.

Shoot him when he walks by. That's my plan

Often times with the numerous deer here in western KY, a defensive strategy is warranted.

Find a day off work fracing, few & far between on a 6x3 schedule, and that I don't have a family commitment then just go hunt.

I've shot almost all my bucks in October.
Where I hunt, the food sources change the most during this month.
The deer are eating the last of the greens and wild grapes before chowing down the white oak acorns at the end of this month..don't get me wrong, they are eating acorns, but I will see many more bucks at the dwindling summer food sources than in an oak grove in October.
If I can find the last of the wild grapes here each year....oh man. I will see bucks up to 10 a.m.
Not in the quantities other places have, but if I wait, I usually have a shot at a nice buck or two in October this way.
