Missed160 Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Do you guys ever have trouble with this decision: The main farm I hunt has plenty of deer, and plenty of bucks, One will be close to B&C. But I don't want to burn it out. My brother in laws have another farm I hunt, again, plenty of deer, haven't seen any giants though. I am having a tough time convincing myself to hunt the second farm, I KNOW that the day(s) I hunt there the BIG one is bedding under my favorite stand on the main farm...

MUDRUNNER Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Hard Choice I HAVE TWO GREAT SPOTS,BUT BOTH HAVE SOME NICE BUCKS.WHERE I HUNT USUALLY DEPENDS ON HOW FAR I WANT TO DRIVE.ONE PLACE IS 15 MINUTES FROM HOME,AND THE OTHER IS AN HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE.IVE SEEN SOME GREAT BUCKS AT BOTH PLACES.I HUNT THE CLOSER SPOT ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK,AND HAVENT BURNT IT OUT YET,SO I DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT TO MUCH.

archerjg Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Hard Choice If you are worried about burning one farm out, why not rotate between the farms on a weekly or every couple of weeks basis. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Hard Choice I would definately hunt both. During the rut, the bucks are on the move and do not stay put in one area. They can cover a lot of ground so you never know what may show up in the other farm. I do not hunt the same spots over and over. I have seen it burn an area out. I wait at least a few days between hunts in the same areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Hard Choice I'd definately rotate them and only hunt the best stand when the wind/conditions are perfect for it. You may only get one chance at that big fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbuckmiddaugh Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Hard Choice the farm with big buck: Whats the chances of hunting with a real good wind, you know, everything in your favor!! I would only hunt thoughs days, that puts the odd's in your favor more. Instead of going in and out every 3-5 days, and just taking a chance that he MIGHT come by! might want to think about that too!

bowhtr1 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Hard Choice I have the answer. Let me come hunt the one spot and then you will have only one choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
