The_Kat Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: so lost Deer will follow White Oak Acorns when they drop. trust me. Hit water spots in the early season, then move to your acorn tactics, it's what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kyhunter1 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Re: so lost Find where the deer are traveling to and from. Scout form a distance. Find the deers bedding area and feeding area. Get between these two areas and you'll see deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Re: so lost Get out the hiking boots, and do some walking. Find where the deer are. Spend the next few days really going over your areas. If there are deer there, you should be able to find the area they are in. That might change as soon as there is some hunting pressure though.

birddog Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Re: so lost Dogdoc: You are dang right! Spotlighting is a great (and legal) tool here in MN: You can not have weapons with you, but you can "shine" for deer this time of year (only till 10 p.m.) during the fall: However, I use shining as a great way to locate the preferred food source of deer: If I have alfalfa, corn, beans and Oaks, I will shine the areas at night and see where the deer are congregated: It is a great tool! I have never shot a big buck in my life, so I don't know what that means...but for finding deer...shining works, as long as it is legal in your state.

hutchies Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Re: so lost I agree with the getting out and walking the property. Last year I found a trail that I had to squat to get thru some holes. There are no shooting lanes on this trail and it runs for about 300 yards with no possibility of shooting a deer in there.

BowJoe Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: so lost That's why they call it hunting i guess. You just gotta find em before you kill em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
