looks like a good spot with obvious paths I would give it a second or third try.

Well did you see any deer?

very possible that is a coyote. They look like mange dogs. If it has no collar or tags there is a very good chance it is a coyote.

Looks good now get in there and go hunting :) You can always fine tune a spot once you see what is happening

Looks good I would be somewhere in or around that area. Possibly in the edge of the open woods between the pines and scrubby thick looking woods by the field and the stream. But it is hard to tell...

agreed mrbb. Plus with lots of snow deer wont be hitting the green grass if something else is available. Standing corn also makes great cover for them as they can and will bed in there. Also dont...

First things first. If you can get out now with the snow on the ground and do a little scouting before it melts that will provide you with worlds of information from where they are going. Heavy...

I'm on public land as we speak. Had a guy setup 125 yards from me at 7. He left at 8. Its colder than cold 15 degree wind chill. New spot for me didn't see anything yet. Keep at it as you gotta...

Sounds like you have a plan. Use what the land owner tells you and work from there. Right now green vegetation is killer especially when there is nothing else around. In the big woods up north...

I would use the info you got and set up on the edge of the woods and the creek by the small pond. That way you probably wont bump anything and will be able to check and see what is going on. You...

Go private and give it a chance. Thats what I would do.

Careful with the climber and read the Instructions twice. Wear your harness and remember to tether the top and bottom together so you can't lose the bottom when in the tree

You found yourself quite the rub line

Now that sounds like a good spot. Also walk the stream bank and you may find a spot with a heavy trail were they cross. Follow that trail and see where it goes. That may also yield a good spot.

Sounds like a plan to me. I don't pay too much attention to the wind direction in so far as most of my sets have a prevailing wind direction and hunting in the mountains the actual wind direction...

Good luck and have fun with it. Opening of gun season is always an adventure. Half the fun is deciding where to hunt. There are alot of "spots" in the woods so don't get too attached to one or the...

What MRBB said find I trail from the field source and walk it back until you either run into deer or start finding beds which are essentially ovals of matted leaves, grass etc... where a deer was...

I rarely use doe bleat and buck grunt calls and only when I can visually see the deer. Around me rattling antlers has never worked and especially not like it does on tv. A climbing tree stand or...

We all bump deer when walking in some know it some dont so dont worry about it . People walking through the field doesnt really make that much of a difference. I just wont hunt them come gun season...

Good luck let us know how you do

Extra people in the woods isnt a bad thing. People moving usually = deer moving as well. I would rather be in the woods with a few other people then all alone especially when things are slow. Dont...

As mrbb said dont worry too much about the saw. I have a cheap Gerber bone saw I got from dicks sporting goods or walmart years and years ago. Dont worry too much about that. I shot lots of deer...

in a pinch I've used all sorts of things to split that bone. A clean hacksaw, butchersaw or a dedicated bonesaw will work just leave it in your vehicle or at home just dont take the deer to the...

I stay away from using my treestand harness or any of my safety ropes for dragging as I dont want to cause any more wear on them then I need to since if I ever need them I do not want a failure. A...

Cool that will work. I will have to try his method for getting the butthole out. I usually get as close as I can to getting it out and cut the pelvis with a bone saw when I get the deer back to the...
