Warm Weather Rut Hunting

Even during a warm weather whitetail rut, your deer hunting activities are full of potential! From water to shade and most importantly...hunting mornings... you can crack the code for finding success when the rut conditions heat up. Here are several ways to help you find daylight big buck movement, even if the hot weather rut conditions are not ideal!

To make sure that you get the most out of your deer hunting land in November whether you have a warm weather rut or not, check out my latest land design web class at:

Before you head to the November woods to hunt a warm weather rut, make sure to use my weather forecast hunting predictions thru HuntCast, at:

I shot at nice 8 point Saturday off my water hole on my property in northern Michigan. I couldn’t believe it was 73 out, but the deer were really moving to my surprise. Just not a lot of rut activity aside from some chasing yet that I’ve seen. I couldn’t believe I was hunting in November in northern Michigan in my lightweight gear. Usually this week of November I have at least a dusting of snow. I’m not complaining though. I had great sits all weekend. The woods were beautiful, and the deer were really moving.

Hi Jeff. Just wanted to say I watched this last night. We are having a warm spell right now during the rut in, PA. Supposed to be colder in the week. I knew of a spring in the mountains where I hunt. 9:20 this morning an eight point came trotting to the spring. You could tell he had been running hard. After he got his drink I lucked out and he gave me a 15 yard broadside shot. I double lunged him. Field dressed at 135 lbs. Thanks so much for the videos.

Been warm in maine and have had the best hunts this weekend. Buck chasing does grunting and snort wheezing at doe while in thick cover never got a shot but most action seen In a tree stand

Man I really like how you TEACH and not preach. You give great information and don't get bossy or arrogant about the subject. You keep your voice and tone at an easy to listen to level. Thank you.

Great video
You never mention Massachusetts... lol
Our rut just got underway
And I definitely agree with all of this
I see more deer between 7-11 am lately between a swamp and pines.
My buddy shot a 6 pointer around 2 pm and it was almost 70 degrees.He was chasing does through a high ridge heading down to a swamp.
I start my rutting stand today Monday the 8th where it’s in a valley with acorn ridge to my left small Brooke at bottom of acorn ridge and then I’m in the valley then to my right is a big swamp they cross going from acorns to water to the swamp can’t wait for this week in that stand I waited til this week to sit there. Been eating away at me because it produces ALOTA of deer there

Love your channel been watching for a year. Got 2 real nice Bucks this year.

This heat was killer. SAT morning. No wind, could hear 200 yards. 6 deer came right to my decoy, bedded down, 2 bucks. (Sat on water) By 7:30AM, they left never seen a deer after that the rest of the day.

Activity has been a little slower. But my 14 yr old grandson and myself both killed decent 10 pointers a few days ago, November 4, 2020 here in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. They were both running a doe. Actually I think they were both after the same doe. Im not getting much on my cameras lately. Im not looking forward to this hot week we have coming either. Guess Ill be hunting the mornings for sure. Thanks for the video Jeff. EE

[randlerichardson]

Hey brother yeah it’s been 80 degrees today

[katrinasherryshow]

south east wi.7 different bucks public land, all bucks where i was located where on the move from 7:10 am till 945 am. I had one push a doe back in the dark running her just before day break.All other encounters where just bucks nose down on the move.Heck of a week even in the warm. A lot of hours but mornings where my only action.

[philipkellerman]

I totally agree with the bucks moving more when its cooler however, I've never said or, heard any guy say... you know what fellas, Its just too hot to chase the pink today, I think I'll sit this one out. 🙂

[joshuawhite]

This man knows his stuff. I listened to the info in several of his videos (especially this one) and today I harvested a nice 9 pointer. Thanks for the good info.

[stevegermain]

It is way too warm hit South Carolina again we're at like 75 hard to believe when we were in the low forties 2 weeks ago good luck I'll keep my nose to the grindstone

[huntwarbukz]

I’d like to see a video about hunting water sources

One thing I wish, is that the HuntWise app subscription was a little bit cheaper. I used it last year and I could see the weather predictions for the whole week for free
