LIVE From The Woods 2018 - Lets hear stories and see some pictures!
Steve D replied to burmjohn's topic in Deer Hunting
Watching your own scent is a given but quite frankly I have seen more deer using nothing than using something. But you are correct about every situation being different. I have tried a few that others rave about with no results and even tried the peanut butter jar trick. I have pictures of deer walking right by it but the squirrels and raccoon sure had a good time. To each their own but it doesn't hurt to experiment once in awhile. Now if you really want to attract deer; make a fox or coyote set and you can almost guarantee a deer will step in it or near it.- 10374 replies

I'll be out here. Not sure for how long but it is indeed a tradition and I think I have only missed two. Once because of sickness and once because of pouring rain.- 10374 replies

Some swear by it but I swear at it. I had a decent eight come in this year with his nose on the ground and as soon as hit the evercalm he made a wide loop away from where I was sitting.- 10374 replies

I quit using scents for that reason. For the price of them you don't get your moneys worth in my opinion. I have had some scents including Evercalm spook them as soon as the get a whiff of it. The most I use now is a cover scent but then again I am not shooting any deer either.- 10374 replies

Just got in from some state land for a hunt & scout for late bow season weather permitting. Covered a lot of ground after sitting for a couple of hrs. Didn't see a thing or cut any fresh tracks. Went to another section and walked a good part of that also and found were someone gut shot one this morning. It went about 200 plus yards and was dropping more stomach content than blood but they must of got it because I found a gut pile by the rd. WTF. I think I'll take the rest of the day off.- 10374 replies

Sounds like he has got to be dead. I hope you find him and the coyotes don't. Good Luck!- 10374 replies

Decided to try an afternoon sit to test the snow. Saw two come out just before dark and fed in the cut corn two fields away. Saw a flock of turkeys in the same field. Unfortunately the fields are 400+ yards away and I don't have access. Maybe another day. At least the snow is getting manageable.- 10374 replies

Hope you took the tree stand with you. If not check it good before climbing back in.

Yep same one I hunted out of yesterday. Snow is to deep here. Waiting for a crust to form or a snow melt. Why should I go looking for them when they may come to me.- 10374 replies

I don't think they are moving much. I just watched a big doe come out of the cedars. Took a leak, munched on some browse, and right back in where they bed. Ranged her at 247 yards a little iffy but I am ready if they come a little closer.- 10374 replies

West Bloomfield. I got mine stuck in some deep snow after the storm and got it out by hooking on a tree. Most times it will work but it can be a challenge.- 10374 replies

Might want to pick up a snatch block also. They come in pretty handy in the right situation.- 10374 replies

Happened here last year also. I have a theory on that but it would be a new topic to bring to light probably after the season if I can remember or someone reminds me. Seems to be the trend over the last few years along with seeing more and more deer looking up as though it is a natural thing to do when they never use to.- 10374 replies

It is probably just a glitch somewhere. Lately it has only been giving me one or two at a time and there is SO MUCH to like this time of year

I ran out yesterday and was only "allowed" a couple today and I did notice someone else commented on the same thing. Is there a way to increase the "limit"?
