RE: Official Team Elowapi Thread (15)
Hang in there Matt, I know its frustrating. You’ve put a lot of time in stand with little to show. Sometimes it just takes more than time afield and following all the text book items to score. Almost everyone needs some type of breaks, yours will come. This buck I shot was only the 3rd maybe 4th buck in bow range for me. Those others were all scrub 1.5’s. And I hunt what I feel are well above average populations. If your area doesn’t have that many deer it can be tough. At this point in time, I would plop yourself in the best travel corridor you have (doesn’t even have to be a typical “funnel”, but a place where you know there is high deer travel. Next on the list to sit would be next to, (or even in) the best bedding area you have access to. If you have any type of hot active scrapes, you could try sitting over them as well. My dad’s been watching bucks hit scrapes the last few days.
Good luck, I hope it works out for you, you’ve really put the time in.
