I have defiantly learned from your guy's advice (Grizzle,Hoyt)
1.Get in Early and sit all day if possible
2.Hunt Bedding Areas/Excape Routes when the pressure is on
3.Don't always think I'm going to kill a 130" every year I might have to eat the tag but I need to pass on the smaller bucks and be patient and persistent.
4.Scout hard and smart
Thanks for the advice and tips I will see how things work this year.
1 BIG tip
Listen to the cross talk at the check station..listen as to where people are seing chasing/rutting..then see if you have trees in the area...NOT all areas see rutting at the same time. It depends on the local doe cycles, the food in the area and the Buck/Doe ratio..
Sooo..If you hear they are seen chasing..then that area MIGHT have the biguns running so hit your best spot in that area where you've confirmed Doe population and sit and watch...
THIS is A BIG part of my hunting especially when I only see the woods 3 weeks out of the year and I've done no before hand scouting...I LISTEN...
Conversely, watch what you say cause you may have others listening to you...personally...
I like to share info with friends...not so with *some* others...
Good luck!
