Kentucky Archery Rut Hunt Mayhem! Missed Shots & a Redemption Buck | Eastern KY Bowhunting

Back in Eastern Kentucky chasing rutting whitetails with the bow in hand as rifle season closes and archery ramps back up. This hunt had everything — locked-down bucks finally cruising, unpredictable ridge movement, missed opportunities, limbs deflecting arrows, and finally a perfect frontal shot on a hard-earned Kentucky buck.
I set up on a ridge covered in fresh scrapes from my last trip and immediately started seeing action: does slipping in behind me, a shooter at 20 yards I couldn’t thread an arrow through, a smaller buck I clipped a limb on, and nonstop deer movement all morning. Just when the frustration hit its peak, God blessed me with the chance at a great buck following the same doe trail — and the arrow found home.
This is real-deal mountain deer hunting, the highs and lows of the rut, and the grind of DIY bowhunting in steep Appalachian terrain. Whether you hunt mountain bucks, farmland deer, or anything in between, this one’s for you.
