@Wildlife are you running 3 long sticks? And screw ins? You’re way up there. I’m interested in switching from Summit Climber to hang on and sticks. Any advice? TIA

Lived here 13 years. Neighbor 39 acres was clear cut and sold. It has completely changed the deer movement, and the new owner hunts too, previously no pressure on any neighboring property. Hiked to back of my place to find some monster rubs with a scrape line along the oak flat between clear cut and very thick stuff on my place. I haven’t hunted it much this year because it’s really hard to get into without bumping deer. Check out this picture: View attachment 115603I am going to have to re assess my strategy I guess, still trying to learn this hunting game.

Five LW long sticks plus a few tree branches.

You can checkout my run & gun system and modifications in the following 'TOO' internet thread hyper-link - What did you do for the deer today?

I don't think I've ever got a trail cam pic of a deer the week after shotgun on my ground. Seen some doe groups running around the area. Just enough stuff to make me question if I should stay here or hunt elsewhere next weekend. I'll have a lot of road time this week to see if a want to bail on a landowners opportunity. Limiting yourself to your own ground is the only downfall to buying property. I know there's better bucks than this around me but relying on other deer hunters to get them moving failed me week one.

I've been road scouting in the mornings. Yesterday I saw 5 bucks grouped back together no does in the group 2 nice ones. Today a saw a fawn being dogged around, huh. If I stop to glass anywhere around here they bolt reguardless of distance from the road. Spooked as hell still. After stepping outside with the cold northern wind blowing tonight, I'm shooting whatever makes me smile which if I see a deer in gun range I'll be grinning ear to ear....

Haven't seen him in person since October 17th. I had crosshairs on him and the hammer backed but a marginal shot. I had to let him walk. He gave me another chance yesterday and i made it happen. Its been rifle season down here since 10/17 but i either hunt with a slug gun or muzzleloader. Shot him with my muzzleloader.
