When the rut is on, the optimum area is a rub/scrape line that bucks are using.....this is a path or trail a particular buck will use denoting his territory. This is where the doe's will hang out waiting for "Mr Right" to show up.
That's just a starting point.....when the rut is going wild and crazy trails mean nothing. You could be laying in a sleeping bag in the middle of a field snoozing and the deer would probably trample you over.
