Creek crossings
« on: October 24, 2024, 04:10:39 PM »
I was scouting this past Sunday on some state game lands in PA. I found two separate creek crossings that were very torn up. Both in very thick areas. It's in the mountains. The creek is only a few feet wide. I usually tend to stay out of bottoms because of getting busted. How do you all hunt creek crossings? Figured it's worth a sit and see how bad my wind actually is. What I normally do is follow the sign out to a different pinch point.

Check a couple different spots/angles for switching winds, so you'll be in the best position for whatever gets tossed at you.  Stay as scent free as possible.

That’s all you can do in a bottom…sit it and see what the wind does, usually doesn’t work and the wind is all over but maybe you found a spot with predictable wind.

Yep. In my 5 minutes of standing there chucking milkweed I was reminded why i have sworn off bottoms.
