RE: How do I hunt this buck?
Hey, its great to see someone else who hunts the catskills as well. I hunt in delaware county, in margaretville. I have had the same dilemma as you. The past three years there has been a scrape and rub line in the same spot, and I hunt it hard, but the buck never shows his face. In my situation, his bedding area is a pretty large swamp, and there are so many trails into, in, and out of this swamp that it is hard to find exactly where in the swamp he is bedding. The swamp is big enough that a few guys could easily hunt it. What I would do is keep hunting the scrape or see if he has any other scrape lines in the area and try those. If your area is anything lie mine, then it isn't easy. My area is just woods upon woods. What area do you hunt in? You dont have to be too specific if you don't want.
