RE: Hunting where the does are/will be?
Before about the third week of Oct I hunt as near as I can safely get to buck bedding areas(I will be the first to admit this is a very inexact science). After that, I hunt were the does are more and more, especially at the height of the pursuit phase. After about the first week of Nov this no longer works tho (hunting doe bedding & feeding areas) because the does have been chased out of thier normal spots by bucks. The does hide out in little bits of timber, grassy/brushy areas, really any out of the way(from a deer point of veiw) spot. I could hunt those spots but I have found them to be very low percentage. When I see the does dissapearing I know all I can do is hunt the super funnels, where deer(mostly bucks) almost must pass to get between points. I dont know really what else to do at that point
