Re: With all this manure...
Welcome to HBC. Snow and lack of food will push deer to lower elevations, if you have an area that holds deer now and there is little to no snow, stick with it. As it gets colder the does will be feeding heavier during the day and moving around more, as the rut turns on the bucks will be chasing tail. The biggest, smartest bucks may not venture out but the smaller dumber 4 points might. I've taken several like that myself.. for the big guys you may need to venture into some thicker timber but even they will sometimes make an appearance if the right lady draws them out. Good luck out there!

Sounds like your on the right track..even in the best (pocket) you will need to but in time...full moon right now heavy pressure in alot of areas as moon resides and temperature hopefully drops daytime activity will increase. If your seeing deer repeat repeat until harvest achieved.
Re: With all this manure...
Thanks very much guys - I really appreciate the advice.
Re: With all this manure...
You are definitely on the right track. It takes some time to learn the land and very importantly how to hunt the land. In my experience deer will bed down for the day in places where they feel very secure. These places offer security for a good reason!!! I personally do not go through the known bedding grounds in my area because I know I will not be able to get in there without blowing them out and be able to get a shot off in the ranges I can shoot. Come to think of it, I probably would go through them if I was allowed to use a rifle. So I generally try to be in very deary areas… in between bedding and feeding grounds at the times when they are most likely to be moving. Keep in mind they are skittish and wary at the best of times.

Very helpful - thanks Brian.
Sloooow down, then slow down even more, and start concentrating around that thick stuff…
