Ep. 986: Rut Fresh Radio - The Nastier the Weather, the Bigger the Bucks

This week on Rut Fresh, we’re looking at how early-December’s ugly weather is shaking things loose across the whitetail world. Mark Kenyon starts us off with a big-picture take on what these cold snaps are doing to mature buck movement and why this stretch can still surprise you. Justin Hollandsworth checks in from Ohio, sharing how the rough conditions are pushing deer hard toward food and tightening up patterns as the season winds down. And over in Illinois, Grant Putnam walks through what he’s seeing as snow and cold temps kick big bucks into gear- making this one of those windows where toughing it out can really pay off.
