Five sits and Zero Deer Later
I am moving my stand.
Before the start of the season opener I was on here bragging about this cadillac stand I had set up in the middle of a white oak grove laced with scuppenong vines (wild grapes) hanging all over the place. After 5 sits I have seen zero deer there . I guess that's what I get for bragging.
So I have changed my strategy. I have set up another stand more on the interior of the bottoms and into the slough system where travel routes and funnels are more identifiable. Well, last weekend I was out scouting and after I had walked for about two hours and not seen anything to get really excited about, I prayed that the Lord would open my eyes to see what I needed to see. Sure enough, not 10 minutes later I walked up on a cow path of a deer trail. It leads from a dense bedding area into another white oak grove. There was tons of fresh sign, tracks and poop all over the place. Judging the look of the bedding area and tracks, it looks to be a doe area. With this cool weather coming in, I expect to see some bucks moving through there soon.
We'll see. I'm not bragging this time and I'm setting my expectations low. However, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have some pictures Monday morning. Good luck to all of you this weekend.
