    Things are really starting to move around my area. Hopefully it’s the same for you. Have seen 4 140+ bucks killed early evening over the last 2 days. And 2 more this morning.

    It gets pounded in gun season. Not many archery guys. I also am 2miles back in. I've logged a lot of info about this property to learn how the deer move in here. Hundreds of acres of clearcuts.

    Man I wish I had an option like that, all of our game lands have easy access throughout, can’t get back in far enough to get past people

    Sometimes the best places are just right off the road... :) Find out where everyone else is accessing and adjust to a place where the deer aren't pressured. That could be 150 yds off the road. The deer don't know any difference.

    Well the bad news is there was a nanny doe not 10 yds from my blind as I was getting to it. Had her at 40yds but no clear shot, too thick...
    Good news is they are on their feet early. Also saw 2 does and a fawn in the field about 150yds out as I was walking in... Hopefully the big boys will be out cruising as well
