Which stand/blind location is best here?
I am torn on which stand to hunt. i have a small piece of property (10 acres) with access to 4 stands. I am currently bow hunting a mature buck. I have a climber set up near a funnel of game trails, 2 older stands (one that's noisy), hunting blind (where I saw 8 doe last night!). The less noisy stand is where I have a camera set up and have captured many images of mr. big (mostly at night). Please help me choose the best stand or blind!
Best, Wellis |
another good question is...do i hunt right behind where the giant sleeps or do I stick with the blind where I'm seeing the most doe activity?
Thanks, wellis |
Stay on the doe and he will show up. That is your safest bet.

Thanks rockport! That's what I'll do.

I will also add that with only 10 acres you really need to pick your spots wisely. I would tread very lightly and only be there when the conditions are just right. Wait for a good wind and a cold front. Small parcels that hold doe can produce massive results but offer very little room for error.

Exclude the noisy stand.

So my plan is to wait and hunt the next cold front with the good wind direction.
I hunted the blind location last Wednesday evening, saw 10 doe and a 6 point chasing them. I am afraid that a mature doe has me figured out there as she saw my movement. The other day they also seemed very weary of the blind as they kept good distance. My question is, do I not hunt in the blind anymore? Or just wait a few days for condition changes? Thank you for all your great advise! P.s.., drove by neighbors, across the street, and my target buck was standing in their front yard with 10 doe! Man I've never felt so frustrated haha |
It will take them awhile to get used to the blind whether you are in it or not. Just don't get winded. Them doe always think they see or hear something but if she smells you she will trust her nose.
