Yeah i know that is hunting and not shooting, that's why i'm hooked on it. Yesterday was just one of those days when i went out in the morning and was super confident and then ended up emty handed. Now i know that there are a lot of deer in the area ( the bait and the mineral lick have been tore up) i'll probably just hunt the area with no bait.
I didnt know there was an October lull before the rut. That's what i mean i'm always learning new stuff and that makes me feel a little better about the failed hunt. what do the deer do during that time? are they just always bedded up, only move at night, or what?
Thanks for all the help, i'm gonna let the area chill out till the weekend although i'm thinking about goin out on wednesday.
Anyone have any tips tricks or advice for a new hunter hunting during this time of year?
