During the whitetail rut there are many things that are important. Everything from time of the year, the stage of the rut, the moon phase — for those who believe in these things — and most importantly the hunter. Keeping yourself on stand during this special time of year is important to your success.

Over the years there have been companies that have tried to keep hunters in the field when the weather turns colder. With the offerings on the market there is only one company, season in and season out, that keeps hunters not only scent free, but also warm.

Staying comfortable will keep you on stand longer and there is no better time to stay out than the rut. Deer will be moving not only early or later but also throughout the day. In fact, one never knows when that wall hanger on the trail will be by your ambush. The only way to make sure you are staying on stand as long as possible is by staying warm and comfortable, and SecentLok is that company.
