VtBowhunter Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees I was a pro for a time. Had Husq. Chainsaws as a sponsor. You really want to wait until it's really cold or the tree will bleed sap all over ya after you shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallone Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees The biggest problem with hunting pine is most people don't know where the kill zone is, it kills my to find so many wounded and maimed trees running around after the season ends! You have to aim between the first and second knot! Not many people know this. A little hint, Pep Boys sell a great attractant it even looks like a little pine tree just hang them around your stand and be ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees Whenever you see deer there. I have about 200 white pines on my property, but the deer stay away from them actually. Except for the rubbed ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees Where I hunt, there is a patch of pines that have alot of blow-downs, and where the downed trees opened up the canopy, there are several small trees. In windy weather or when the snow falls, I often find deer in there bedded up around the downed trees and thicker areas. As far as a mature pine woods, unless it's a funnel zone they usually don't see alot of activity, in my opinion. Probably depends alot on where (what state) you hunt and how common pines are. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2008 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees LOL you guys crack me up. I would say anytime to hunt in the pines. I might set up a ground blind next season in some thick pines where I see bunches of tracks and deer sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees A day or two after a rain is the best time. Mushrooms will start sprouting. Some kinds of these deer eat like candy. Find the mushrooms they like and you have found a piney woods hotspot that will produce year after year. But it will be seasonal and very weather dependent.

Guest mims Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees What i have found that works best is to use bait. In SC where i hunt it is legal, is this ethical hunting I will not venture to say, it is legal so i do it. What i have found works best is 10/10/10 for early season then if i still have not killed my limit i switch to the mirical grow tree spikes. It will bring the deer into the area and also inhance size and number of pine cones. I am starting to pass on the smaller trees(i used to just hunt to put wood in the fire place) and wait for one just loaded with cones(for christmas). Be careful though it is quite hard to tell buck from doe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brule_wisconsin Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees Actually, I've had great success hunting pine trees at watering holes in the late afternoon. They come in to a get them a big drink of water. They seem to bed around watering holes also, so right when they fall asleep, I sneek in for a close shot!

bbarnhart20 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees I'll keep the humor aside, seems like everyone else took care of it. .... If there are pines on a property that I hunt, that's where i'll be, it seems the pines give the deer good shade in the warmer days, good cover on rainy or snowy days, and keep the wind down on windy days. I love Hunting pines and always see alot of deer including nice bucks. I saw go for it anytime of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whttlbucksteve Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Hunting Pine trees All of you are lucky I had to buy a reproduction pine for my home.
