Vermont All Day Deer Hunt Pays Off

All-day sits during the whitetail rut don’t always produce. When they do, they often happen in the middle of the day.

Check out the Mossberg Patriot line of deer rifles.

In this Vermont deer hunt, we commit to an all-day sit during the heart of November, set up along a natural funnel connecting multiple bedding areas. 

With a steady wind, cold temperatures, and rutting bucks on their feet, patience and positioning prove to be the difference.

A midday rut buck comes cruising through the saddle, offering a brief shooting window. 

One well-placed shot from the Mossberg Patriot chambered in 7mm-08 ends the hunt quickly and ethically.

The key to all day deer hunts is no secret: it is patience. 

And the other core concept is: comfortability. 

A deer hunter has to stay comfortable for long sits in cold weather.. 

Today we put both together to catch this mid-day buck cruising through the timber.
