Stinger-Hunter Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Did a little scouting the other day at Willow Slough in Indiana - a little section that is passed by just about every hunter in the area because it is difficult to see from the road (myself included for 3 years). Great set-up: 200 acres of soybean and then 8-10 interspersed rows of corn throughout the field + right next to 2 acres of oak trees. Basically a deer paradise. I've been out to this section 4 or 5 times and I see deer every single time morning, noon and night, so I decided to go out late one afternoon and set up to see where those deer were funneling out of to get to the field. WOW! 10 minutes after sundown, 11 deer came out with 5 bucks. 1-14 pointer 1-12 pointer 2-10 pointers 1- 8 pointer I think I found my new hunting spot for 2011.

Rhino Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Sounds like a no brainer spot to me! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 If you have a bow season before the rut, I'd say you have an excellent chance at one of those bucks. They should stay on that same feeding pattern until the testosterone starts kicking in. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sounds great. Places like that here are hunted pretty hard. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Slough came into the light a few years back and has been pounded. Stinger I would recommend Minnehaha depending on where you are down there.
