Ok guys and gals, this had probaly been beaten to death on here, but the search on the site never works so ill just ask again.
Im new to bow hunting. We primarily hunt a private farm during gun season and mainly harvest does cause we see a ton of them. Thisyear we have setup a few stands for archery. YesterdayI spent 8 hours in a tree on a property where we have not seen alot of big bucks, but have seen alot of evidence of them (rubs, scrapes, ect). I had a doe move in on me at first light, and did not see another deer all day.
I guess i probaly need to do some more scouting, and maybe set up a camera on a few trails.
The farm we hunt is pretty much surrounded by corn fields (they are cutting them all now so that willchange by mid month) There is a center field where they have livestock that graze daily (sheep) Between the corn and the livestock grazing area there is a good strip of woods where we have positioned the tree stands in the center of the area...
We have treestands set up in the strip of woodedarea between the corn and the livestock area...
I have included a pic i just made of the area...would like to see your opinion on our stand placement and maybe some ideas of where else to consider....
