RE: dead deer question.....eh.
Thanks for all of your imput you guys, it really makes me appreciate these fourms.
I did a little Sunday scouting today (no Sunday hunting in NC) and as I walked out of the woods up where the deer are I found more deer sign than on any other part of the lot.
the stand closest to the deer is the only one I have not touched since bow season and I believe the hunting pressure may have pushed all the deer into that area.
and I found another thing i would have never expected. a fresh rub and scrape. with a rather big track in the middle of it. didn't have much to compare it to but two quarters and it was about three or so in length.
I think there might just be a good size buck hidding out in that neck of the woods.
