Had a nice past weekend. Hunted on Fri and seen 4 doe/fawns and then on Sunday afternoon seen 14 doe/fawns, no bucks. But did find a real nice scrape and other buck sign in the area. Hope to connect this weekend.
I was hunting on the ground just using a blowdown as a blind. On Sunday, 6 of the 14 deer ended up bedding in a thicket behind me know more than 10-15yrds away!
They stayed for over an hour before moving out into the uncut cornfield. It was so thick I had no shot.
I guess woodsmoke dose make for good cover scent! I hang my hunting gear in the Tipi to take on the smell of campfire smoke. I have found that deer don't seem to mind the smell, if anything they seem more curious.
Good luck!
