September WhiteTail Hunting?
 

If you had to choose one area to hunt WhiteTails (Bedding area, Feeding Area, Ridges, Fencelines, Funnels, Creeks, etc) where would you set your treestand?

I'm determined to get a buck, be it large or small, this fall especially since this is my first year with a bow, and I've been wracking my brain trying to decide on the best place to set up. I have two treestands (Lock On) that I'll be able to set up.

Please, any information is greatly appreciated!

all those places are likely but you really need to scout the areas you want to hunt

Man thats hard,i like to hunt in certain areas in certain times of the year,but if i only had one choice it would be in the feeding areas,whether overlooking the field or just inside the bush in the transition zone.Thats where you will find most of the rubs and scrapes where the bucks will hang out till dark.Good luck:)

September .................... I would be most confident in killing a deer on a food plot in the evening ! But if I was hardcore big buck hunting.............I'd set up on a travel route coming into the feeding area a few hunded yards back ........at a crossing or staging area !! Good luck !!

If you have any white oaks(with good acorn production), that's the place to be in Sept.:)

you want a buck, you gotta hunt the does, go where the does are and the bucks are soon to follow.my first choice is the feeding areas,

I wouldn't worry about does in September - for the most part the bucks are not after them and still in their bachelor groups.

I would scout hard in August, trying to locate the bachelor groups, near there feeding areas. Food is of No.1 concern at this time of year. Find where these groups are bedding. These locations can be very different than Nov. bed and travel routes.

Sept. bucks will often have a small range, sticking close to food and using the lush green foilage of summer as cover in areas that will become much less thick later in the season.

Good Luck

i rarely see bucks feeding in planted fields during the daylight that early in the season. i would find a good trail and go back off a field or a food source a good 100 yards or more. hunt the kinda trails that lead into the nasty bedding areas. i also read that good bucks can be taken that early in the season by walking creeks. you come up on them fast and full of surprise so you got to be ready but with the water running it covers your sound.
