Curious for the guys out there that are consistently on deer, what do you think you do differently than most that makes you successful?
I'll add scouting to this. No sense hunting where there is little sign/food etc hoping a deer walks by.Simple answer….time in the stand
Thus !!!!Right place. Right time. Total surrender to Jesus!
Tree time !!! My buddy that comes and hunt in November is usually begging to go back to work by the end of his stay here ….. he said I seen the pics of the deer you been killin but I hadn’t seen this !!!Location and time in the woods ! Time in a tree is where I think most of my success comes from . And a little luck doesn’t hurt.
But nothing will bring consistent success without being a good woodsman
Great posts in this thread. Excellent reply from Baddave. Anyone with cattle can tell you when deer are moving. If cows are laying down the deer will be too. And yes, being two hours from hunting land is a grind.You asked so I'll tell you. I just happen to live on some of the best deer hunting in the state right here in Henry County along the South River. Have been for 34 yrs. I observe deer movement and lack thereof. I have gotten to where I can forecast the best times to go. I understand most don't have that luxury. When you can't go to your hunting property that is 2 hrs away more than once every 2 weeks it would be tough, I totally get it. If I was in that situation I'd probably be asking the same question. If so I would probably rely on just pure patience luck and scent control. I can't type enough to get off on that. Tip.. look and listen for other game movement. Squirrels, crows and song birds. My best indicator is my dog believe it or not
