RE: Go now or wait ?
If he's there, I am prepared, been shooting every night. I've broken the ice on 4 bow kills here in SC already. Last year I took that 140 in my pic after 3 nights of hunting the same stand. I kept tweaking my location until I got him. It was in an area where I had to get down and walk through a creek between 2 fields to get out of there without spooking the deer in the fields. I was proud of that. Most people that have ever hunted that stand, run everything off after 2 hunts because they spook all the deer leaving their stand at night.
Anywho,
They start moving in about 30 minutes or less after shooting light. So there is a very tight window to get in there without spooking anything. Wonder how the acorn crop is... If it's good, they may be in there in the dark anyway. I'll make that another post.
