There are a few times that a hunter will have to choose when it's time to get himself in the chase. Well, the gaming commission will announce when deer season will be open, but it takes nature to bring about the stir of things.
Most hunters anticipate the coming deer hunting season, especially those living in the Northwest where it goes into December. At this time, beginning in late September in the Northern part, hunters anticipate the Rut, or the deer mating season. This is part of nature where the doe brings about being the tease, in a sense that the buck would anticipate in order to start mating.
At this point, hunters will have a clear chance of scoring a kill once a doe is sighted, thus the buck will appear shortly. It only happens during the daylight so that the doe can give birth to their offspring in the spring.
Call it superstition, but this is natural science in the making where the deer tends to go wild and are a bit less cautious. If a driver has ever run over a deer during late September to early November, well, that's pretty much it. A buck's sense of awareness is blinded to its need to find a mate in order to start breeding. It sounds like shooting fish in a barrel by the sound of it, but in regular seasons, deer tend to be more cautious and have a clear head.
On the forest trail, one way to know if a deer is nearby is to watch out for rubbings. The buck will scrape its antlers and head, in which a gland would leave behind a scent in a way dogs mark their territory. I wouldn't know its smell, but you'd know if a buck is nearby. This usually happens during a rut where they tend to be aggressive, a necessity to chase the doe in order to breed. Deep gouges on a trunk would likely be a buck just a couple yards in the area so it's best to leave and wait it out until spotted.
It takes a degree of know-how and the knowledge learned from school to know if deer hunting season and the rut is nearby. Soon enough, a trophy will be just around the corner given to their high anticipation and the appearance of the rubbings.
