U ever wonder or am I the only one that wonders about how many fish I could’ve caught today ? I am a lot better fisherman than deer Hunter for sure ! Lol Oh I put the time in don’t get me wrong. I have foodplots ,woods & ponds with hills & I’m almost always second guessing stand placement. Does everyone have permanent stands or climbers ? I am not comfortable climbing so I do have a chair & ground blind I move around in . I’m not a small buck shooter & usually take 1 doe in muzzleloader for the freezer . The Moultrie cell cameras have taught me alot about deer movement this year . I’m just a work in progress with a few good bucks to show for it , but it’s not a guaranteed thing by no means . Do you hunt rubs after rain ? Do you hunt deeper in the woods with rut winding down? Always good info on here & appreciate everyone’s input though the course of the year ! Thanks & good hunting !

This time of year I like to hunt just inside the woods close to evening food sources. If the does come out to feed the bucks usually hold to cover until last light. Just my opinion.

After the first weekend of gun season and as the rut winds down, I tend to focus on staging areas in the evening and bedding in the morning

A lot of it depends on how much ground you have to hunt my stands are in the same place every year but I don’t have tons of ground they all have deer at them at some point on my place I have 5 it’s 36 acres but I put some for wind some for food plots some on a travel route, if I had 3 or 400 acres I’d place them differently My BIL place is a travel route it really doesn’t hold deer much so all my stands on that place are right off deer paths My moms holds deer but really is a better bedding area with all the pines and thickets so my stands are placed by them

Maybe I should have more stands , I have 80 acres & 6 stands . Three stands are close to funnel pinch points , 1 stand overlooking a wooded ravine that’s close to a 2 acre standing clover plot another stand in woods on small plot last stand is overlooking clover plot . I move blind chair some & have shooting house for bad weather that’s on a travel corridor. I want another shooting house & thinking a few mor stands . The bedding are is in the center of property & I don’t go in that at all .
