Since it is deer season for some and getting close for others, I thought it might be good to get a post going about favorite techniques for deer hunting. Please feel free to describe, etc. Thinking this maybe a good way to share ideas, experiences and for some knowledge/ideas to others for the upcoming season.
I will start with some of mine:
Early bow to Early Pre rut - transition areas in cover from bed to food/water sources. I usually pick intersections at the start and then setup on rublines or side trails as bachelor groups disperse.
Late Pre Rut- Rut - Love to hunt close to bedrooms that feed to filter areas of food, water and rublines. Rattling in saddles, ridglines, etc close to bucks bedding areas in midday is my favorite technique and one of the most exciting to boot.
Post rut - hunt the food or transition routes to food. After rut I have had most of my success setting up in access areas to food that provide nurishment to the bucks after a long hard fight. (Particularily alfalfa up these parts)
Good luck to all have a safe and successful season
