RE: Official Team "The Shafts" (11) Thread
I was out hunting Thurs night and had a doe come in and hang around for about 20 minute's ,I had sprayed some doe estrus around the food plot and on a stump in the area .When the doe got to the stump she proceded to lick the stump for a matter of 5 minute's .I couldn't understand why she would do this ,I spoke with another hunter later that evening and he told me that he had read that a doe will roll in a scrape that a doe had urinated on in order to get her estrus cycle started ,so I was just wondering if this is what this doe was doing .Does anyone else know anything about this behavior? Anyway's After the doe left I waited as long as I could see my pin's and then I climbed out of my stand to leave ,as I walked out I put a big buck up heading for the hill's .This is the second time that this has happened in 3 outing's .I'm going to put my Impact Archery Cosmic back on my bow because it hold's the light much longer than my Spott Hogg does ,maybe this will give me the extra 15 minute's that I need to get this buck in .What I've forgot to say was that the pin's on my Hogg sight are gone long before it get's dark and that when I come out to the bush it's still quite daylight out.
I went out Fri morning to the same area and seen absolutely nothing ,it was a waist of time .Since i'm hunting a food plot do you's think that i should hunt it at night only ? I've hunted this spot 4 time's now 3 night hunt's and 1 morning hunt ,all the night hunt's I've seen deer but nothing during the morn. What do you guy's think I should do hunt night or both night and morn.
