Three bucks(you can see the third in the back ground in parts) on Sun morning of the youth hunt. Not really able to tell the size of the third one as he stayed in the back ground

I had a count of at least four deer on that first scene. If possible, I would conceal the blind closer to that runway for a bow shot during archery season. That is just a thought that I had. It looks like a great spot.

It looks like a great spot. Well ..............We did place the blind close to where they had been crossing in the week + before the youth weekend  It seems they decided to go a different way that morning! There is not really any runway in that spot (any more) as they cut everything except the pine last winter on both sides and the deer spend a lot of time just browsing the new shoots(especially the soft maple shoots) with no real pattern like if they were heading back and forth from bedding to a certain food source. The first mornings video with the doe and young was in the same general area, however there is a runway in that spot. The problem was at that time of the year you really need to be above the ferns (tree stand) to hunt it as the video shows. We have hunted that spot for gun season over the years(from the ground) and have done well ,however the leaves and ferns are down at that time of the year! |

Now when skiotter was there he's never seen anything but perhaps the inside of his eyelids...

Yes it amazes me that I could sit in that blind in that spot and see a deer or two basically each sit, and he goes out for three days (same blind same spot)and sees zero.............  |

That happens to the best of us. It certainly has happened to me.  |
