I will bleat or grunt once of twice after I get in or if I have spooked something as I am going to my stand after that nothing unless something wont stop to give me a clear shot seems to have worked most years or just luck ????

I have hunted both ways as in some of the midwest states deer Canada deer and Maine for bear it is legal to bait for hunting it my not be for some folks but if it is out there and it is legal use it

looks to me as 3g is a good sized area find some state land if there is any or find so place else it is prob over money people buy there way in to some of these hunting places its sad but true and maybe you did something to upset the landowner but my guess is the all mighty$$$$$ good luck and have a better day and if you couldnt afford a $ 10.00 tag maybe you shouldnt be hunting to begin with ? so pull up your big girl pants stop crying .......

WOW it was one of the longest and hardest years in my hunting life bow season was a wash so thought was give them hell in gun season gun got us one small junk buck so we regroup and was going to go on a brown and down killing week in ML season and fired one shot to check the ML for sight and never shot it again had to push the 200 grain sabot out last night man I hope next year is better going to miss not having the meat in the freezer I think MARVIN the steer is going to meet his maker sooner then we wanted

Just a little input from 4o I hunted on some land that was over seen by DEC you cant shot a buck unless its 6 points or more and outside there ears and they give alot of doe tags and you have to give the heads to them they age them and check them for CWD you do get the bucks back we have shot some BIG girls off this hill 180 lbs 12 plus years old my soninlaw shot a bear 2 years ago and the dec officer that came to get his tooth gave me alot of info about the way they age deer and bear the guy was right on the money with the bear he said it was 2 and a half years old when we got the report back from the lab it was right the break down on ageing deer is kind of like this 1 ,2, 3-4 4-6 6-8 8-10 10-12 and 12plus .
-
Yes there needs to be a break and make ML season as long as the others so if bow is 3weeks then all should be 3weeks

I was not talking about the real people and hunters that do the right thing I was saying the outlaws will still do what they do and big boys are big bucks sorry if I got any one fired up just stating some facts and an opinion AR's are going to be good for some herds and not so good for the rest my self have not pulled the trigger this year seen only one worth the shot and he did not stick around for me to get it off but starting tonights hunt there will be a doe or two going down frezer meat good luck to all
