My neighbor just stopped by the house and informed that there was a BIG 10pnt spotted where the purple dot to the left is this morning around 11am.... and said there was another big buck in the field with the purple dot to the right yesterday evening. I'm hunting everything you see bordered... and the stand Im hunting now is the southern most yellow X. And supposedly and another 10 point was taken somewhere in that purple squared to the west.... If there is a buck running this area, should I stay where I'm at or take my climber and try to set up closer to where the sightings have been? IDK what to do, I thought about going to wally world, buying my black powder license and watch everything.lol.
Looks like you have quite a bit of area there to cover. If this was early October, I'd say get in the vicinity of where he was. However, its November, the rut and that buck could be anywhere on that map, and sometimes he'll be everywhere it seems. My first thought would be if you know where there are some bedding areas, particularly known doe beds in that vicinity, I'd start there. This time of year, bucks won't go too far from these areas and will frequent many bedding areas looking for hot does. Of course you need to stay out of the beds and not spook them, if you do, your "bait" is gone. The ideal thing is if you have several bedding areas in the area, get between them. Sooner of later, one of these bucks will come motoring through, from one bed to the other.
where im hunting now, literally hunting, im on my phone, is right on top of where they bed, i have a pretty bad wind but im hoping as they evening comes they will filter this way as ive seen so many times in the past. thanks for the advice.
Hunt where you typically see the most does. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. It's Nov. 3rd.. If you have them.......they will come. Good luck.
