The mad rush to hunt "the rut" during rifle season may be over, but the deer hunting isn't. Many parts of the country still allow deer hunting with "primitive weapons" like archery, muzzleloaders and flintlocks.

In this great video from the National Deer Association, Nick Pinizzotto looks at three important keys to locating and killing a late-season deer.
