As a Maine guide once opined: "The wetter the better, the thicker the quicker. And get more than 200 yards from the road!"

My fields are dormant at this time (63 deg north) and the food plots have been razed to the dirt. Literally. Finding a crop able to still offer food at this late time of our season would be nice. We have only gun season, and it lasts from september 1st to december 23rd. I am lucky and have access to a thermal spotter. As my land is a valley with very steep sides I am able to spot deer at long distances now after the leaves have fallen. Last weekend I could see 5 deer the same night while sleeping outdoors. The challenge is to get to them in those steep hills. 45degree or steeper often and loads of small trees. Very high stem count. This is why I am following and enjoying what Ken is presenting. There is always something to learn.

Where the heck do you live that a gun season is that long????? Gun season in Wisconsin is only 2 weeks long

@@B.Ritchie1974 I feel for you. Is that the total for bowhunting, muzzle loader and rifle? We are only allowed the rifle. Not being allowed to bowhunt have great implications for the state of knowledge and habitat management. You guys in the US are miles ahead of us over here due to your bowhunting. That is why I hang around. There is so much to learn about habitat management from you guys.

I was down in the woods on public land this afternoon I got to a grove of white Birch trees and I heard and saw something walking around in there it looked like the size of deer I had my 30-06 strapped on my shoulder not loaded of course for safety so I stood there for a minute watching whatever it was so as I'm standing there I decided to put my seat on the ground and put the clip in the gun and take a shot at it but I'm like just stand here for a minute and see if it comes out to where I can see better. I heard something else walking around off the left of where I was standing I thought that that might come out to where I could see it unfortunately it didn't, so I walked in about 20 feet from the path I was on and sat down after about an hour or two of sitting there I heard something else further in the thicker woods I knew darn well I couldn't get a clean shot from where I was it was to damn thick so I continued sitting there to see if it would come out and it didn't. By then it was starting to get dark sun was starting to go down and I said to myself we gotta get going I still a had a mud shit whole to walk through that was a shit show to try to get through unless you have an ATV I have one but I still didn't want to drive through the new seeded field my buddy that owns the 2 fields behind his place I saw a tire track where someone made a rut in the field. I'm thinking to myself I'm glad my name isn't on that I like to keep the peace with my friends there nice enough to let me hunt down there on their land I spent 3 days in his tree stand so I thought I would try something different today so I wouldn't Exhaust that field I'm thinking about going back to the stand in the morning though after breakfast and sitting there for a few hours.

Why would you be actively hunting be not have your gun loaded? Even if you get a shot you would not have time to load your gun
@Mainly-boy-outdoors10 ай бұрын
@tomlarge8841 it's called safety it's not safe to walk with a loaded gun if you trip you could potentially injure yourself.

Let the guy do what he wants. You should not be shooting running deer anyway. If he fills safe.
