Walking back to check a stand this afternoon I pushed out 7 does in my shooting area. I like to see that. I then noticed as I got closer to my stand that a beaver has built a huge dam 15 yards from the base of my stand.I love hunting around creeks and a dam seems to act like a magnet to deer. The trail crossing the creek over the dam looks like a dirt bike path with all the tracks. Can't wait to get the I40 back and put it out there.
Talked to the guys who teal hunted this morning on the and four of them shot out in 20 minutes. I am going to see about putting a stand on the club property. It's in Schuyler Co. and I know it has alot of sign on it but I think the deer are pretty much nockturnal with all the activity. We do quit hunting at 3:00pm so maybe an afternoon hunt would be good.
