The Whitetail rut is under way and the next two weeks could be your best chance at a big Iowa deer! Our recent plunge into regular frosty mornings and cooler afternoons in the 50s has been the spark igniting some serious wildlife movement. Central Iowa has seen a substantial increase in buck movement sighting many new (and mature) bucks during daylight! Bucks are bumping does, pushing them a couple hundred yards then leaving them alone, and we are on the threshold of the seek-and-chase phase. The most prolonged activity seems to be on the frosty mornings with high pressure and clear or partly cloudy skies. I've been focusing on travel corridors right outside the bedding areas and I have seen twice the numbers of deer. Rest of Monday Nov. 1st: High in mid 50s, light ENE winds 5-10mph, high pressure overhead and mainly clear skies. There is a cold and windy storm system brewing, so if you like quiet and comfortable sits get out the next two days! There will be good deer movement tonight, great movement tomorrow morning!
