Magical Moments During Calling – When the Roebuck Leaps Out

Summer is in full swing, the vegetation is lush, the air shimmers – and you know: this is the start of one of the most thrilling times of the hunting year. The rut. During these intense weeks in July and August, it’s possible to lure a buck out of hiding with the right call. It’s the moment every hunter has been waiting for. Anything can happen – if you’re ready.

The Magic of the Rut – Hunting Between Tension and Silence

The rut begins in mid-July and peaks towards the end of the month. Bucks respond particularly strongly to doe bleats or fawn distress calls. If the sound is right – subtle, natural, convincing – even experienced bucks may give in to curiosity. They’ll come. Sometimes slowly, sometimes in a bound. Your heart pounds – and suddenly, there he is.

The Right Gear – Your Kit for Success

To make the most of this moment, you need more than just timing:

• Versatile game call – choose one with adjustable pitch and practice beforehand.

• Bright optics – a clear, precise riflescope is a must.

• Stability – a lightweight shooting stick ensures a steady shot from any position.

• Camouflage and silence – clothing, movement, scent, and location all matter.
