Re: Late deer for the cold

well depends...can you bait an area...if you can dump a bunch of corn in an area just in yout affective ranch with your muzzeloader and just wait....its late season so the deer are looking for food....so you supply them with a food source and hunt it....but if you cant use bait, then set up on a trail leading from a bedding area to a feeding area so you can intercept them thats mainly were you will find your big bucks..also remember the second rut....28 days after the first one! good luck!

Late in the year, I'm looking for acorns. The deer don't come to the alfafa and clover ( hayfields) once they have had a good frost. Corn fields may still be good but I like hunting over the acorns. Find their food source. After rut the bucks are feeding heavy.

Re: Late deer for the cold

i definetely have to agree with sitting up by acorn trees. on our property we have a spot about 30 yards from the field where there is a few huge corn trees. Dec.3 i sat along the field in the woods over looking an acorn tree about 150 yards down in the wods. There i saw a doe and i stalked to with in 90 yards and decided to take her. she dropped in her tracks. i was shooting my muzzle loader. good luck
