Live from the field – 11/22/13

We are back for another day of fun in the woods. I hiked down and got my stand off the tree I left it on last week to carry it over to the area that I have hunted the last several days. The new scrapes I found are still clean and active. The deer that moved through last night circled around trying to find me but I never got a clean look at it. I moved about 30 yards north to give myself a better look tonight. I still have a long shot at the nearest scrape but more importantly I opened up the woods beyond the scrape. I climbed about 25 feet up into this pine and have good coverage but great visibility. I am looking forward to the last 90 minutes tonight and hope we get some movement through the area with the multiple fronts that are coming through this weekend.

On a side note, the first split of duck season and the last split of dove season opens tomorrow. Our time gets even more divided now so watch the weather and get out on the water, in the field or up a tree!

Live Report from the Field – 11/15/13

Today I have decided to hunt a tougher area. It is very thick and has limited shooting lanes especially for a bow hunter. Why am I here? Well for one the deer haven’t been where I have been all season. I decided that being able to see for 50-100 yards whether in pines or hardwoods was overrated at this point in the season. Therefore, today I am hunting a thicket.

The good news is that there more active signs in here than most of other places I have hunted. In a short check of the area I have found 2 scrapes and a rub. Since I got a late start today I decided not to contaminate the area and set up in the thicket.

So far doves and songbirds are the only things I have seen but hopes are high as we head towards dark. Updates to follow of there is any new news.
