ARE THERE DEER THERE?
A few weeks ago, I scouted some property I got permission to hunt on. I found a nice stand site which is about 30 yards from a pond (very dry conditions here in PA this year). On the opposite side of the stand site are a couple nice oak trees. I am in a relatively thin strip of woods with lots of fields around. I'm set up right between a feeding area and a bedding area. I have seen plenty of deer in the area BUT....when I scouted, I could not find any definitive trails in the piece of woods. And believe me, I went everywhere. Now, I did scout this property right after a day of rain. Could it be that I couldn't see the trails because of the rain soaked ground? Do you think the deer are coming through my stand site area?
Help! I'm not sure this is the spot I should take on opening day.
ALWAYS CALL YOUR SHOT.
