Doublecreek, It's tough to know where he is during hunting season. There are alot places he could be... Timber, Pasture, CRP.... A lot of it is tough huntingwith a bow. Especially during the rut, the bucks travel a 2-3 mile area cruising for does. I have game camera pictures of about a dozen bucks from the same area, so there are a lot of "cruisin" they do, figuring the land is pretty open. But after hunting season, the deer winter in the same timber area every year. So the best hunting seems to be late in the year, when it's sub-zero temp and snow. I don't hunt in the timber, as it is small and i'm a firm believer in keeping a "Sanctuary" where they can stay and not be disturbed. It seems to work well to keep them in the area.
