V.3 Halloween Hunt in Northern NY | Self Filmed Deer Hunting on Small Property w/ Brad Smith

[@paulcaraballo247]

Can you tell me what county your in up here? I’m in St Lawrence and struggle with seeing deer as you described in this video. I’ve watched your videos in the past and can see an improvement in deer movement on your property. I’m curios as to what enhancements you’ve made since last year.

I’m near the Oswego/Jefferson county line. I made bedding areas, more food plots and a trail system to lead deer around the property. But I feel the biggest factor to having more deer was less pressure. The first two years here I would walk through the entire property to hunt the far back corner because that’s where the best deer sign was. This season I set the property up with 3 stand sites and only one is back in the woods (which I only hunted twice and access along my line). The other 2 are just off my yard so I can get in and out on the right wind without deer knowing I exist. If I didn’t have the right wind I didn’t hunt.

@@BradSmithOutdoors thanks for the reply. I too have been thinking my pressure may have a factor. My best sign is in the far back too. Thank you for the insight and the videos.

It's not easy hunting the northern zone of NY, the only place I hunt is the southern Adirondacks,many times I'll tag out with two bucks but I'm happy with just one,we don't shoot small bucks in regular season or doe's in early season,we do OK.
