Some Mendon Deer updated aug 2

[fasteddie]

My youngest son and I went out last Wednesday evening to check out some of our stands . Straps need to be rep[laced . I saw a couple of doe and at least 13 bucks . That's right . "13" . Had to sit around and wait for them so they wouldn't get spooked . When we were leaving at least 5 bucks were across the processed wheat field ignoring us . Saw several spots where the deer had bedded down . Not sure what they will plant when the straw is baled .

Mind me asking is you are along the park?

 

Will be hunting a bit there in Mendon this year and I am looking forward to it.

Not near the park at all . None of them had any BIG racks but I was surprised to see that many in one area in the same evening . 3 of them came within 40 yards of where I was sitting and waiting for them to move along so I could get out of there undetected .

We lost a couple of good spots in Mendon when a developer bought up some properties and built on them . One of the spots we lost was a 8 acre field with adjoining woods / fields where someone built a house right in the middle of the field .

a co-worker lives across the st from the park, on the west side. Deer pass through his yard to travel from park to farm fields. he owns about 1 acre or which i think he can legally hunt on about 50sf. he talks about putting in a ground blind to pick them off as they walk by. about as close to a canned hunt as you can get.
