Are you hunting the sign a mature buck left behind or figuring out where he’s going next? This week on Back 40, Bronson Strickland, Tony LaPratt, Jason Michael, and Skip Sligh break down how they read buck sign and use it to predict a deer’s next move. We dive into scrapes, rubs, bedding, travel corridors, hunting pressure, and the clues that actually matter when deciding where to set up. As the rut approaches and bucks begin covering more ground, knowing where a deer has been is only part of the equation. The real challenge is anticipating where he’ll be when you’re in the stand. If you’re trying to turn fresh sign into an actual encounter with a mature buck, this episode will help you think one move ahead.
