Deer have been hitting my one feeder hard that still has some food in it. I won’t refill it after this but I’m sure they would be like a moth to a flame this time of year with the lack of food and cold weather.
So this was last week as in post rifle season? Would seem like most folks bait piles have likely run close to dry. It’s interesting for sure. Wish I had some insight into why it was so slow.
I add calcium when it gets cold for here. Like 30-40 degrees but nothing like what y’all deal with! Also I’m sure they are equipped and prepared for cold weather pouring or else production would stop for months at a time up there if not.
Good call guys. Exactly my plan. You can’t see it there but I’ve girdled several large sycamores in there last year. I was going to take the excavator and clean up all the brushy trees growing in there this off season. It’s a nice stand of walnuts. I think I underestimated how many are in there...
I did get skunked once this year and was baffled. I must have really stunk. I’ll usually run from 4 on a really bad sit to 25 or so when they are moving well and I can see a lot
I like to think back and remember when I was hunting timber company land in Georgia and we’d go an entire weekend as...
Absolutely not. It’s shooting. Zero concern for scent or concealment or movement, etc. You know, all the things hunters actually have to concern themselves with.
There’s some distance where it’s no longer hunting, it’s just target practice. I hear some of those western guys say I shot an elk at 600 yards as if he just accomplished something. I think, you know there’s magnitudes of guys who get within 50 yards of elk every day…you suck at hunting.
great question. No I really don’t much. I just hate the sound of the things especially in the dark. Also I wonder if deer aren’t able to somewhat pattern us based on following the sound gas powered vehicles but maybe I’m giving them too much credit.
Yep. I definitely love habitat management but I’m seeing the truth. The garden of Eden won’t outcompete a 50lb sack of corn. It’s really a travesty states allow this shortcut which in turn disincentivizes land owners from actually improving the habitat.
I do habitat work several months out of...
They are pretty dang expensive and they never really took off. Never seen anyone else besides the Midwest whitetails guys occasionally using them. It’s telling that bill generally uses his 4 wheeler over those.
I have a decent amount of walnut. Is that a thing where someone would come in and take like 10 good trees and be worth everyone’s time? I have no interest in logging crew coming in but would be open to grabbing a couple low hanging fruit for some easy money
Lol
I have one like that. Big giant chain. I cringe but deal with it cause I’m not hunting close enough to where I believe it will matter. But I did buy three of these for my most used gates...
