There are deer drives ...then there ......
Jim Droz replied to growalot's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
There was a recent dry spell in WNY .. the puddles were dried up. Water was a good bit away .. the turkeys were mouthing the Un-chopped hay and running their beak up the blades of stray/clover/timothy and caught the morning dew in their mouth. Never saw anything like that ... -
It's not easy .. I write this stuff down and diagram things in my spots to help me keep track .. here's a couple of recent examples ..

Anything in the $150 range is going to be very good. $125 isn't bad. Anything but Wildgame Innovations is fine in my opinion ..

18 or so ? I take pics of the spots I put them in a lot of times so it can help me keep track of them.

Saw a few deer as well the one evening ..

It was a long grind but we made it through another deer season .. These were some of the final sightings from today.

rattling may pique interest at this point but I'd most likely sit and wait on food sources or travel routes to/from food sources. I run 2 bleat calls nearly simultaneously. As one tails out, I roll the other over and I'll do that for literally a minute non-stop. Seems ridiculous but I've seen it work effectively over the course of many years. It doesn't always work but it does work when it works. Same with scents. They all work when the stars are aligned .. I've bought the $100/bottle stuff and I've bought $10/bottle Tinks that's sat on the shelf forever and it's worked too .. The best you can do is hunt as much as you can .. It's a #'s game at some point .. Eventually one will walk your way !

Don't overlook public land for drives. We leave our sitting spots alone as much as possible. We go in and come out. If there's any public land within a 30 min ride, it's best to use that to fill the time between AM and PM sits. Below is an excerpt of what happens when you move .. Neighbors pound and you see tails .. Click on pics for the feel of how things go sometimes ..

1) Take this with a grain of salt but stop walking around the woods during deer season. Seriously ! 2) Flood your area with as many stands as possible and sit based on the wind direction (if not realistic - do the best you can 3) Hunt as much as possible on the fringes of the cover/brush .. Try not to penetrate too deep. All you do is bump the deer along when you get too far in. After opening day it pays to be strategic.

Exactly .. You're about the only person who knows why you'd be called Navin !
