The Original Rooster
Mayor of Spring Hill
Below is an aerial photo of my 15 acres. The boundaries are in green, the red diagonal line is the power line coming to my house, the yellow line is my driveway, the blue line is a spring fed creek that runs south off of my property (you can step across at some points), the X's mark hunting blinds, and the F's are two feeders that I've recently set up. The pines to the west on my property are thick and the 10 acre property next door to my east is thick pines as well. The red bubble marks where a buck has a scrape that he has repeatedly worked at night over the past two weeks. It's not quite in view from my front porch. I'm certain that he's bedding in the thick pines next door and coming out only at night. I've found his prints out by the highway on my property when he walks down the property line. I've tried rattling last week with no luck. The only thing I can think of is getting out there really early to maybe catch him visiting the scrape on his way back to his bedding area. He apparently doesn't visit it in the evening or we would have seen him.
So how do I get him? Any other ideas other than getting out there early? What am I not thinking of?
