hunts 69 , 70 & 71
70 degrees F on November 4th for a high!
I needed to find a shady place yesterday afternoon. So I headed just behind the house and sat in the ladder on the East facing bluff. Needless to say deer movement was nill. Just before dark I noticed a big deer down in the food plot. I got the bino's on him and was impressed with what I saw. A big white rack with 10 even points!. I had been watching the trails behind me and above me and I don't know where he came from. He exited the opposite side of the plot and headed up the other bluff. Soon he saw something he liked and off he went in a rush.
This morning I hunted again over Derek the decoy. Derek was sporting a new set of Tarsal Glands!
Despite lots of gunfire, deer movement was pathetic. One spike buck for 6 hours on stand.
After Old lodge skins hit the trail for home I headed back up the bluff. It was 68 F at 3 pm. We had a south wind and I wanted to try a spot I have not hunted for weeks on end.
The deer come out of the property next door and walk down my mowed trails to my food plots. There is also a trail that comes up the ridge and intersects the mowed trail right on the other side of three big cedar trees next to my spot. The cedars provide great cover but I can see any deer approaching on either trail.
