Today, we are once again joined by Derrick Dixon of Whitetail Research to talk about drone studies, this time focusing on the late rut and post-rut time periods! We cover:

• Why big buck movement INCREASES after the peak of the rut
• What kind of setup gives hunters the highest odds of success this time of year
• Figuring out if you are hunting a "homebody" or a "roamer" buck
• Are morning or evening hunts better for hunting big bucks this time of year?
• How bucks use different kinds of late-season food sources (acorns vs food plots vs agriculture)
• Derrick's observations around bumping deer during the late season, and how they react
