[QUOTE="tree_ghost, post: 5747343, member: 14521"] Welcome to the fire!!!! You’re right stalking a deer right now in the timber is about as tall an order as man could make. There are times when it’s more advantageous IMO to try and stalk one. Early season being one of those when the bucks can often be found in row crops or fields of various types. Right now we’re in the pre-rut phase and feed trees and scrapes are the hot ticket items for all the deer right now. I would encourage you to spend your time through this coming weekend covering ground and locating both feed trees and scrapes. If you come up on some hot sign then try to use you tracker feature in OnX to map your entry and exit. It can be very disorienting entering and exiting the woods in the dark and you can easily blow all the deer in the area out if you don’t have a good plan for egress. After the cold front hits early next week go slip in there with your saddle and set up downwind of your targeted sign. Don’t beat yourself up to bad right now if you’re not seeing deer. You are attempting to learn in about the most difficult conditions you could be given. Hot, dry, acorns for years, and more cover in the woods still than I’ve seen in many seasons. The good news is your in a good area with lots of access to land and plenty of deer on it. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
