RE: Hunting Strategies... Early Season
I'm with RDHunter. I usually hunt mornings just under a ridge in a spot that acts as a kind of meeting place for deer on their way back up the mountain bedding areas from the CRP fields where they feed at night.Something about the terrain there practically ensures an uphill draft inthe morning and a downhill draft in the evening, which works to my advantage.
I sometimes hunt the same spot in the evenings, waiting for them to return to the fields, but don't see as many then, so I usually hunt further up the mountain in the evening to catch them earlier in their route from their beds before dark.
