This has been my first season bowhunting. I have had bad luck getting the draw on a few deer, practice will be conducted during the summer/early fall months. I saw a ton of bucks and does in November and then into early December. I haven't seen a deer out during the day or at dusk/dawn in about 3 weeks now. How do I draw the deer out when they are clearly nocturnal? Any tips or advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Not sure about North Carolina but maybe their food source has changed and the deer have moved. After the rut food is on their mind and they need to eat to replenish themselves. Is their a food source nearby? here in Wisconsin the late season is hunt where the food is and near thick cover. Scoot
They are pressured. Move your hunting spots. You gotta be mobile if you want to see lots of action bowhunting.
i've changed spots on base now about 5 times... trying to find their bedding and the food plots that they use. i was on a food plot with thousands of prints in it in a training area that had just opened to hunting for the first time this season. Sat out there in my climber for 7 hours and did not see a single deer. I guess the pressure is just too much for them now and they are going strictly nocturnal.
