RE: I'm at WITS end! I need ya...Help Me.
Just keep hunting. Simple enough. You can rest assured, one of those two bucks WILL be out on his feet without a shadow of a douby during daylight during this magical month...may not be often, may not be near you, may not even be while you are there....but he will slip up (if being out in daylight is slipping up)...and he will show himself. Just gotta put yourself in a position to be there when he does.
Im sitting on a travel corridor on a major highway, or hugging the N edge of a 1-2 acre cane thicket bedding area this time of year.....liable to see anything on the travel route, any time ofyear...the bedding area i hug in on around rut to see what all is slipping in and out throughout the day. Had a shooter slip in silently and just out of range a week or two ago at 1130 am....never seen him before, and don't know where he came from...but he was like a ghost, and 10 seconds later gone into the cane reeds...one of these days, he will slip in on the trail 25 yards from my stand...and Ill be there a waitin.
