Late Season Hunting Question?????

[mrbb]

you,. life can control your seat time in the woods better than anything
hunt when you can, works for many of us. and has killed a LOT of deer over the yrs I bet too!

and a 1/2 mile can eat up some in and out time for sure,
but sure beats the BIG woods 2-3 mile hikes in and out
and a BIG plus on dragging one out!, that 1/2 mile seems easy after some 3+ mile drags LOL
been there a few too many times yrs past

been spoiled the last few yrs, being able to drive an ATV right all my last 10-20 kills!, and NOT complaining either!
done my fair share of dragging and back packing game out, but if atv's were allowed on game lands in hunting season, there would be roads every where and ruin what we have in remote places
so, in a way GLAD game lads are off limits, be nice if opened SOME to atv's in summer time however!, and charge for permits to generate some extra income
say from June 1 st to Aug 30 th or so!
NOT like many game lands now don't see atv as is, LOTS of trespassing ATV's on one's around us here
why not make a few bucks and f=give us ATV owners some place legal to ride I say!

Same here, very little deer movement in daylight hours. I run a couple cameras 24/7/365 and 95% of my pics have been after dark. Haven't had a daylight pic in a about a month and a half. Seeing a lot of them driving home at night to. So I would say yes, they are definitely changing their patterns to adapt to the weather...which works to their advantage, lol.

I usually don't do morning sits in the late season but I did go out this morning and saw none. I will be going back out Saturday evening.

Saturday evening I had a 1 1/2 year old fork horn and 2 doe fawns walk past me at 10 yards. That was all I saw. Monday and Tuesday it's suppose to be even colder so maybe some of the older deer will be on their feet before dark. I will be going out both evenings. I'm still after a hit list buck but haven't seen any shooter bucks since mid November.

Tonight should be a good one. High pressure cold little wind.

I agree, had deer in the yard today in DAYLIGHT , first time in a LONG time
and seen them back and forth a few times all day long, looking for apples and some corn I have out in the yard

these super cold temps that rolled in over the weekend have them looking for heat/food
