It's all about the land and habitat, I'm excited to see what the next 5 years bring with even less pressure in the woods. Most neighboring properties are shotgunners and only a couple on each property.moost of the propert to the north, both east and west, of property are owned by one farming fanily who I am also related to but have not seen any of them since I was 3 or 4 years old. They own somewhere around 15,000 acres in the area, a lot of it ag fields. They don't lease though which is a good thing. I'd say only avout 8 people total, and not daily, hunt neighboring properties during archery season. Double that for shotgun. Blue outline is the 67 acres I hunt. Only thing lacking is ag field edge to hunt.
Just pinned a standing groundhog at 22 yds. Second one I’ve seen today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm my area, good chance they're bedded on the lee side of a hill. PS: may get up esp in the golden hr or if chasing/dogged
I figured you were from MN by asking that question today haha. I’m sitting tonight out even though I did see some big ones chasing on the neighbors this morning. I just really don’t want to deal with 30+mph gusts in a tiny tree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm going to tak in a different route tomorrow to see if any of that damn standing corn has been worked this week. That could be hurting things a bit as well. Don't care if it is all out, just get some equipmemt in there pushing them around. Clothes in the wash, got blood cleaned up on last years kill arrow, put a fresh broadhead and nock on it. Will have it nocked awaiting redemption on last years misjudge.
Took a couple days off from my last hunt. Back in the stand now ready to kill!! Good luck everyone!! Congrats to all the killers in the past couple days!!!
