RE: Late season success?
 

You know what? HC is exactly right!! I'm sitting here reading these post's thinking how cold (24F) it is, and how windy it is(15-25mph), and telling myself I'll go out tomorrow when it'll be much better conditions. I'm outof here. I'm going to take my CB (please, no crap:D:D) and kill mea doe (need the meat). That's all that's open until after Christmas anyway. I'll let you know what I see after I get back.;)

Like they said, food food food...

I put out some corn and my trail cam and got these pics, looks like the Does need a little thinning out. ihad put the corn out @ about 2:30 pm that same day.

During the late season I have always had better success in the afternoons. Since food sources around here are so hard to find, I try to key in on bedding areas. I want to be as close as I can to those so that when the deer leak out and start their movement to feed, I am right there to shoot. If I am too far away, I risk not seeing the deer during daylight hours. I like to set-up next to where thickets and hardwoods produce an inside edge where the deer feel comfortable moving even when the leaves have dropped. I love hunting the late season because no one else is in the woods.

RE: Late season success?

Food is right! One thing that I love about late season is that when you find one deer, you find them all...

Zmax hunter- What state are you in?

RE: Late season success?
 

OR, In my case, when you don't see one deer, you don't see ANY deer.[&:]

I need to find their food. lol

the thick timber i sit in during the rut...i abandon those places for field edges, fencerows, food sources, and bedding areas

seems to work for me, isolate yourself a food source and be in the tree at the right time
