The mule deer rut is rolling, and in this episode Jaden breaks down what he's seeing across Wyoming and Montana—early rutting in the desert, slower action in the mountains, and how weather is dictating daylight movement right now. He walks through a wild multi-mile stalk on a big Wyoming buck, a one-day Montana strike mission, and why the rut is really a bell curve you have to hunt pocket by pocket. If you're chasing November mule deer, this episode gives you the playbook: how to glass smarter, how to adjust for heat or storms, how to handle pressure, and how to keep your head straight when the plan blows up.
