I was near out of the woods a bit after dusk (bow hunt already well over), about 50' from the road a few years ago in NH when I saw that a guy was literally drawn on me from about 40', all in camo, I yelled, he was like "Dude! You looked just like a deer." He was apologetic. "Want to smoke one?" I didn't. The hunt was over, I should've been safe without a flashlight or blaze orange or anything as there was no possible legal shot. Who shoots then! That don't stop enough hunters. Moral of the story, don't by any stretch expect a bow hunter won't draw on you, particularly after dark. Deer can see the contrast of plain blaze orange but, it's a lifesaver. Other moral of the story, for those who need to hear it - stop poaching deer, draw the line for yourself and always, always only hunt within legal parameters. If you poach, you're not a hunter at all. That ain't hunting that's being a loser, you will be caught and tried, your family will be disgraced.
I'm hunting ag land in NW Ohio. I'm sitting in a fence row leading into a small plot of woods where the deer bed. I've had a lot of chasing this week. This has been our best week as far as seeing bucks.
Looking forward to those dates. Cold front will help. Will be interesting to see how our cameras play out. Daughter and future son in law got their first bucks on the Michigan opener. Warm so we had to get home. My time to hunt now.
Grunted in a buck at 1 pm today Sunday November 17 th in northern Minnesota. Dropped him in his tracks. Most trail cameras I have out showed all night action lately.
Northeast Ohio, 4 different friends out this weekend I saw a nice 9 pointer off the property,sat morning, they are moving more now, according to my other friends out today Bed- morning,Food- afternoon now.Big storm coming later this week, Best-Regards
I had an awesome buck on camera at 12:45 on public big woods forest. Got the same deer again 6 hours later (dark) on another camera 1/4 mile away. They cruise all day and night looking. If you can get out Wednesday, Thursday or Friday do it. The woods settle a bit after getting smashed on weekends.
I'm in the process of collecting my cameras right now. The gun bear season starts next weekend and Gun deer season just after that. I don't trust that they'll be where I put them if I don't collect them before the orange army descends upon our mountains. But, last year, I did see a buck harassing does in a funnel area on the 19th exactly. A few years ago on the first weekend of our gun season there was a buck chasing a doe in the thicket next to me. He was shot the next morning still dogging her. I think that would have been November 29th. It was either a doe that was missed the first go around or a young doe just coming in the first time.
I hunt northern wisconsin big woods. No real farming. Nice to compare notes. I agree with what you say. Been watching several of your videos. retired now. Had to hunt only few days around long weekends thru fall. Anyway i wonder in this late period if you see any difference in morning, mid day or evening movement?? Dad likes morning. I lke evening. Mid day seems quit random.
I seen in your video you have some of those big coyotes too. I've dealt with them for years.when they come through they really mess with deer movement. My deer around here have become nocturnal because of them.
