RE: Are the deer high or low?
I have a farm that i hunt in VA, and i have also hunted the National Forest in VA, both have MTNS on them, just like WVA(same mtns). When the season heats up and people are shooting in the bottoms the tops of the mtns and those benches will fill up with deer. The advantage is that if your not already up there on top by early morning, those deer are going to see and hear you coming long before you see them. They move all day up there too as long as there is no easy access by hunters. the trick on top is to get there early, pack a lunch and bring a light to get in and out, cause you can hang out up there all day and see deer, while your buddies down below see nothing. Its not easy, but i make the 2 hour walk up a mtn all the time and hunt all day, with a lot of success, while other guys i hunt with hunt the fields down low and dont see much cause the deer are feeling the pressure of the season and are hiding on top.
