Final Scout and i find...

[Vince1]

So im doing my last scout before the season and I find:

 

was in a beautiful spot that I found a nice spot for a tree stand. when I moved a bit further back I found the above skull, guessing it was a fawn. there was even still some fur around so it couldn't have been that long ago.

 

im guessing it was a bedding area.

 

would it be pointless for me to put my treestand near there now? or should I wait till later in the season, I was tempted to clear out all the bones a I figure a deer wont bed near a dead dear skeleton.

Put the stand up if you want to, that dead carcess wont stop any deer from going in there.

If you like the spot, have good sign and think it will produce. Set up there

+1 That won't bother anything.

deer walk past more dead animals in the woods than they realize. or maybe they do and just dont care. I remember one year i had shot a doe on opening day, i field dressed her right where she lay as i was on my grandparents land and they wanted it done that way. 2 days later i went to the same stand and shot a mature 6 point that was aged and going south. there were also a group of doe less than 25 yards from where the gut pile had been. They may just see it as natures course and think nothing of it. who knows and we may never know the truth but it makes the hunt that much more intersting.

If you're happy with the spot, I wouldn't let the bones deter me from putting a stand there. Don't think you have anything to worry about! Happy Hunting!

cool, looks like a decent spot bout qaurter of on a trail off a hiking path on the side of a  hill with two branching paths, one leading down to what i dont know yet. the other leading to a bedding area where i found one big bed and alot of droppings.

 

thinking it would be a good morning stand spot if i can get in early enough.

 

got a bit pissed when i thought coyotes were hanging out there.
