Knowing how the deer move in PA, I'd assume those rubs are being made at night.
I'm assuming that as well, but I'm seeing deer cross here during legal hours a lot.
If I were you and wanted to kill a buck in PA, I'd get off the fields, andget in the timber. What's that bottom look like? Is there a stream in there? Any good crossings in it that you can setup on for the primary wind?
I agree. I don't like hunting opening fields, and the only reason I considered this spot was for what I'm seeing. I have a spot that LOOKS perfect on the map, but has yielded NOTHING in 4 sits. Here's that particular stand (marked #1 on the map):
So I feel I can't always be going by the maps, I have to transition where I'm actually
seeing deer. As for the hollow to the north end on the first map, I don't own it, so I can't hunt it or tell you what's in there.
The acorn crop isn't all that great this year, but since I'm seeing absolutely nothing in the corn, and my food plot is getting hit mildly, I'm assuming there must be a few good acorn producing trees somewhere on the property, that I haven't found, or that are off our property.
