This is my second year of hunting, and my first year of bow hunting.
Last season I hunted what I would call a heavily wooded area with very little open fields. This year I have been invited to hunt on 1500 acres of cropland. The owner grows red& green peppers, squash, eggplant, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, and a little corn. The land is basically flatland with 4 or 5 small streams running through it bordered on the back side by a small river. The streams are wooded on each side. Each is about 20 - 30 yds wide while the river bed is more heavily wooded. The owner says the deer avoid the river due to a higher number of coyotes there. The last two mornings I have spooked the deer as I try to get in my stand set up in one of the thin sections of woods bordering a stream. I guess my question is how would you hunt thinly wooded open cropland with a bow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this newby bowhunter.
