You guys seeing them in woods or fields ?
luberhill replied to luberhill's topic in CrossBow Hunting
I have one stand just inside the woods on a fence line , another at the opposite end on the same woods facing a wooded ridge with huge hay field to my back. and my ground blind is set up in the woods about 150 yards from the edge in the small clearing amongst thick dense woods with a creek behind my blind about 100 yards -
Ever shot any sitting on the ground with a crossbow

I went over today, right on the point of the triangle of trees is a trail going across to the hay field on the right of my pic there is a clump tree 10 ft from the trail I could tuck into but it’s awful close to the trail .. there isn’t really a good spot to even put a stand and be able to see much -

Wonder if once gun season opens if that will move them around more and maybe push them back into the thick stuff -

Thoughts on best area looking at my drawing
luberhill replied to luberhill's topic in CrossBow Hunting
Well where my blind is I had gotten lots of doe and buck pics two weeks ago ,, it’s 30 yards off where there trails intersect . In the last week or so only one for pic .. now it’s possible if they are traveling the one trail they are going behind my camera. this area has had tons of rubs every year in the past .. I’ve only seen one fresh this year ..maybe too soon because I usually saw them during gun season.. this pic is near my blind.. I think the blind may hold my sent better ? -

I do have a stand there but trouble is when deer come up the ridge trail they are almost at eye level.. they seem to ignore the blind . I was thinking that stand 1 where I was last night may be worth going back to tonight if that doe is hot and still in the area -

Stand 1 -
Ok the area is hilly , and ridges and trees with a trout stream running thru, the area to the west of the creek is straight up hill after the first 50 yards. my stand number 1 is half way up a hill next to a ridge .. last night I saw a buck chasing a doe across the creek while in stand 1 my ground blind is in a small clearing next 50 yards from a dirt ridge stand number three is on the edge of a huge cut hay field facing a wooded hill leading to a ridge .. im going back tonight thinking I should sit in stand 1 again if that was a hot doe thoughts ?

So aim from tree stand , same spot as on the ground
luberhill replied to luberhill's topic in CrossBow Hunting
My box blind is only 8 ft off the ground. The hay field next to me they sprayed weed killer on and the deer always feed there in the afternoon .,, now it’s all dead .. so I mowed my field that is making tall weeds and golden thinking it may draw them -
So use range finder ,, 20 yards from tree aim as on the ground
