RE: How to hunt pressured Whitetail's?
My buddy and I are having the same trouble. Great spots that normally have quite a bit of deer have dried up. But while driving out we must have seen 15-20 of them..all of course in non-huntable land. They are going SOMEWHERE. Like everyone has said. Go where you think WOULDN'T. The deer are feeling the pressure. It wouldn't hurt to scout down into those 20 acres and look for trails in and around. If no one is hunting there it shouldn't push them anywhere. Wait a few days then set up there. I did that in my back yard...I have about 3 acres and there is a long strip of state land..pretty much a valley. The deer are pushing into there. My wife saw an 8 point (at least) INSIDE our fence around 9 pm.What could hurt to try something different? If you are not seeing deer now in the normal areas you hunt...then what would change?
