  • When you go to a piece of property and if its 40 acres or 200 acres, do you ever ask yourself: Where do I start?

    What I have learned over the years, I will break down that property and look to see what it offers and what do I need to add to improve that property if it's private, Lease land or public land. I will break it down into sections and learning those sections.


  • What are the deer movements? How do they move throughout this property? If I am amble, how do I incorporate food plots, mineral stations, feed plots, Kill plots, watering holes, and manipulate deer through pinch points, travel corridors, bedding areas and can I provide sanctuary?

    There are several ways you can do this. Through this breaking down process you will learn the travel patterns and the deer's behaviors. In my experience, I try to include all this in 40-acre parcels. It's not easy but it can be done through strategic planning and laying out your property.

    I have helped many hunters shoot their best bucks through these principles. Knowing what to look for and how to plan. When you lay out your property look how you can included all this into your deer zone along with using the deer lures and scents as an attractant to bring those deer to an active breeding scrape you built using the communicative scents by Big Buck Adventures building that mock scrape. You will bring yourself success because you are providing everything deer are looking for.

Deer Scents

What is a gland base scent?

Big Buck Adventures works with a team of people who are deer farmers, animal biologist, veterinarians, and deer processing plant where we extract the glands from dead deer. Big Buck Adventures incorporate the glands into a quality deer urine to make the scent.


Deer like humans have many glands. Deer communicate through their interdigital gland. Not by urine. Remember urine goes bad, rancid in 24 hours. Glands smells are stronger and last longer than any other kind of scent.


All of the scents from Big Buck Adventures have one or several glands mixed with the urine to make it a strong communication scent, if it is by interdigital or tarsal gland.

The Rut

The rut is always on time. The weather can depress deer movement but the rut is always going. I fell the best peak rutting time is November 10th through the 15th. Sometimes it can be a little earlier, depends when the does come inn, the does all do not come inn at the same time.


The secondary rut can be the best one. That comes 28 to 32 days later than the first one. Weather is usually cooler, better day movement from bucks, Does that did not get bred the first the first time are in heat and the fawns are coming into heat for the first time. Bucks will bred as long as they have their antlers on because they are still producing testosterone.


I have seen good rut activity in December this past years and bucks were fighting and hitting scrapes to almost Christmas this year.

New Scents

Pre orbital buck gland scent

The most important gland that comes from the fore head, ears, and sylyva gland. This is the best communicator to start the licking branch and a effective mock scrape.

Doe Passion

Mixed with Doe Whisper. Doe in heat and a strong musk gland from the doers tarsal glands when they where I heat.

Notes

Doe are in heat for only 28 hours


Bucks hormones change when they loose their velvet, pre rut begins around the first of October, depending on weather, moon phase and day light.
