Hunt or not

[cecil30-30]

I've got a small dilemma at hand. So this year I'll be hunting my own property 67 acres 100% of the time. So I don't want to over pressure it. I hunted it Saturday morning and evening and then killed my buck this morning on it. I've got pictures of 3 other what i consider shooter bucks. I have tomorrow off work. But can't make my mind up if I want to hunt or not. Thought about letting it rest till next weekend when the weather is cooler, especially since it's going to be kinda warm tomorrow. What do you think, hunt or not? It is November after all.

That's a tough one man. Does your 67 acres hold does so your shooters will be around during the rut? Or do you think you should capitalize on them while its still kind of pre rut and they are staying closer to your property?

As long as you're careful and play the wind then I'd say you'll be ok.

I feel like it holds does pretty well. Usually can always count on seeing a few does every hunt.

Really depends on how much pressure you apply by hunting. Like Steve Bartyla says, it's all about perception. If they don't see you, hear you, or smell you then you weren't there. It all depends on how you hunt it.

Thats awesome. Then it all comes down to access like the guys said above. Can you get in an out clean?

I wouldnt but i try to never overhunt a spot. Definitely wouldnt if you killed a deer this weekend.

 

[redblood]

Is there a piece of public you could hunt nearby?

 

[backyardtndeer]

Maybe hunt a different part of the property from where you killed your deer today. That said, I am probably holding off until Thursday when we get another front.

I actually have another private place to hunt but it's not the best. Super low deer numbers. It's no big deal if I don't hunt tomorrow as I've already accomplished my goal. I'm fine with killing 1 deer a season now. I was just looking for opinions and thoughts.

It's got a great road/trail system. But I feel like they will still smell my path I take on entry and exit. Hard to best that nose

Depends on if you can get to stand with minimum sound and use the wind. If you can do both I would hunt it.

On a small property, if you can limit yourself to just hunting the best weather/ cold front days you will maximize your success. Not doable for most folks though.

I gotcha. Man if you're sure they will likely smell your access, then I'd rest it for the better weather coming. Im not gonna hunt the next 3 days either, but for other reasons. Gotta complete some honey do's and these next 3 warm ones will be perfect for it! Let us know what you decide!

 

[cecil30-30]

I think I'm gonna hang back. I have next mon Tues and Wednesday off to hunt. Supposed to be a little cooler. I've got some storm damage trees from back in July I need to work on.

 

[redblood]

Yeah i think its gonna feel like the 4th of july this week. Next week looking better

 

[DoubleRidge]

Im gonna hunt today because im off work.
But im moving other vacation days I had for this week to next week due to weather.
