I know I see deer 15 minutes every night after dark. They magically appear in my field.
Get out of my stand at dark. Not 1 deer.
Walk back to my truck, and drive down the dirt road, I can see deer moving across the field.
and if I walk the property in the morning, I see fresh rubs...
I have a nice layout of cams on my property. The deer consistently visit my stand 1 hour after dark. They know when to stay away... which is around dusk.
as per my screen name, I gave my .30-06 to my son years ago. I shoot 6.5CM, .243 .308 & 7-08.
I never lost an animal with any of them, but If I had to choose 1, it'd be the 6.5CM, or 7-08. The 6.5 is more accurate, the 7-08 kills Elk no problem. They all work on any game.
Last night just at dusk, I drive into a local road. Back road, 5 acre field on 1 side. 8 doe's just yarded up, hanging out together in the field. Not a buck in sight. See a few rubs on the tree line, not alot.
I'm thinking another 2 weeks the doe's will be dispersing when they are...
Last night was crazy windy. gusting up to 40-50 MPH. Obviously no deer. This morning, 3 doe's were running around. But also a big temperature drop. Like 20 degrees + +
I'm seeing very little movement during day light. Maybe a few doe's here and there. No bucks.
Night time, my camera's are going crazy. Bucks chasing everywhere. Doe's running, and a lot !!
Can't wait until the phase of the moon changes.
So you get off the float plane into the bog ? How deep in the water? Do you need waders ?
I had muck boots, and waterproof snake boots which worked well for 12" of water.
