Muzzleloading season in less than 2 weeks I can't wait. Gotta agree with 762mm about the challenge of finding a gunshy scattered herd.
My favorite season of the year.
The herd we hunt only in muzzleloading season is great, the hunters that use the land during rifle season don't drive the deer on the land at all. Usually we will get about 10-15 deer out of one patch and at least 6 more out of another patch. It is just a matter of scouting and knowing where the herd has grouped up. And after hunting this land for the last 5 years we know more than likely which way they will run out if we push it.
