So was it you that took it?
Do you think it's OK to steal someone else's property whether on private land or public?

Best advice I can give you is to scout a bunch in the off season and let cameras do the sitting for you. My time is very limited so I am typically unwilling to sit a spot that has not been proven by a camera. I prefer to leave cameras out dor an entire season and then pull them. This gets me a very comprehensive look at animal activity as well as people pressure. Season wraps up soon. Take those kiddos out scouting/squirrel hunting after it closes. Sign tends to be a bit more obvious this time of year because all of the foliage is gone.

Thank you LeanMachine for your response. I bought a camera last week and have it working for me currently. I am a little late to the game for this season there. I’m planning on getting at least one more camera if not two for next season, to multiply my info. I’m hoping one out of four takes to and enjoys the hunt. Where do you hunt often?

No offense, but most public land hunters won’t answer a question like ‘where do you hunt?’.

As you are just starting to learn finding good spots and success on public can be quite difficult. Folks don’t come off that info easy, especially true for a random internet person…

Yep, most would rather give up a good woman than give away a good hunting spot. Lol

Haha. I understand. I wasn’t looking for specifics. It was a more general question.

Oh, well in that case I’ll answer.

Mostly in Texas, but sometimes in other states as well.

You say you are spooking deer on your way in. Hunt where you see deer.

[jnd1959]

deer are where you find them...or, you find them where they are. I can't remember which.

it takes time. just keep grinding. And when you do spook deer, go back and look around. Ask, why were they here (in a real sense, not a metaphysical one).

Each year is different but if you find the food you find the deer.... Look for thickets near fields, late season mast, honeysuckle, wax myrtle, honey locusts pods and small maple trees....

What do deer eat on a small maple tree?

[HR3]

Once the leaf turns reddish they eat it.

Thanks. I went back to where I spooked dear. I found some acorn producing trees and some tall grass. I placed a camera nearby and am hopeful it reveals regular traffic.

Overall herd health and antler quality question?
Seeing as we have suffered from a lack of considerable rainfall for 2 seasons, what effect will this have on the overall herd and antler quality? Cooper in most parts is dry and quality browse is slim to say the least.
