When to kill varmints before Deer Season?
I have some property that I recently allocated for deer hunting purposes but I know there is a healthy population of hogs that reside in the immidiate area. I have no problem shooting the hogs and wouldnt hesitate to hunt from now until season opening (November 1) but I know it would do nothing but spook the deer as a result.
My questions are: 1) Knowing my season starts Nov. 1, at what point should I stop killing hogs and let the area cool off from human activity so that the deer aren't spooked too badly at the start of my season? 2) Should I try to avoid killing the hogs near my food plot and feeder and wait until they are atleast 40-50 yards away or does it really matter? |
I kill varmints whenever I see them, deer season or not...
I've killed many deer after doing so...... |

We usually keep out of our Deer Hunting Area 2-5 weeks before the Season starts,as long as Your not disturbing an area too much the Deer won't be too skid-ish,maybe leave Your main Hunting Areas alone and kill the Hogs at certain times when You know the Deer are moving the least amount?
Another thing to consider is using a Compound Bow for hunting,a Rifle with a Supressor or a lighter Caliber Rifle for less noise.You could put out corn/bait in areas that won't affect Your Deer Hunting also. |
