RE: What to look for (Rambling)?
I think that either it will make the bucks increase their range or become more aggressive during the rut, which could be a good thing. Where I hunt compared to last year, there arent any deer. About 100 acres have been logged next to where I hunt, which is only a strip of about 150 acres. The deer are all but absent compared to last year. I have found 2 rubs and I have seen one deer from the stand in 3 weeks of hunting. Soooooo saying that I will not be trying to shoot a doe every weekend like I did last year because Im trying to attract deer to the farm. There are alot of factors that go along with your question. Food is an important one especially later in the season after the acorns are gone. Im kinda in the same situation as you and would like to hear what people say.
