I live in Capon Bridge, WV. I never had luck without a treestand. I took 5 deer off that property in 3 years hunting it (2buttons, 2 does, 1 8pt). The 8pt is my biggest ever. It seems most people are mobile during gun season, but I always had my luck with a treestand. Mornings seem to be better than evenings althought my 8pt came on an evening hunt sitting in hours of cold rain a week before gun season. I won't tell you spots, but all four other deer were shot between 10am - 10:45am. My friends used to laught at me because once i learned the property I could almost always predict when I would shoot the deer. 1 button and 2 does came after opening day. The crowds were smaller but you can still find the deer moving around.
