Missed160 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: late archery I live in Minnesota.. Late season bowhunting is the GREATEST time of the year.. First off, you need to have the right clothing, after that it is AWESOME!! When you find one deer, you find a bunch of deer. They will pretty muck ALL be feeding on the same thing. They move earlier and have to feed longer. The best part about it, no one else is out there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: late archery In Oklahoma, our bow season lasts from Oct. 1st to Jan. 15. I was all set this year to hunt hard in the late season but now that I've filled all my buck tags, I don't think I'll hunt quite as hard as I had planned. I've still got two archery doe tags to fill so I will be out and about a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattA311 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Re: late archery For any of you hunting in the Midwest who can.. THROW DOWN CORN! Put it out in a shooting lane in front of your stand and hunt over it for 2-3 days.. after about a day you'll see a TON of activety over it during the late season. Like others have said, it's usually herds. Mainly does by me, but I have seen herds of Bucks hit the corn as well. Corn is very effective in the late season because of the cold weather and the deer needing carbs as a form of energy provided by the corn to make it through the winter. Throw out a pile in the late season where there's deer and I can pretty much guarentee you have lots of shots at many deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gt2003 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: late archery I hope you're right Matt, I've got corn feeders as well as one heck of a nice food plot that the deer are pretty much ignoring right now. Can y9u say....ACORNS? They're everywhere right now but I expect I can bowhunt some nice does by the time late Oklahoma archery season rolls around.

Guest wisbowhntr Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: late archery I will be hunting the late season here to . I was able to get to hunt some private land starting back in October and the deer are hitting a winter wheat field north of this land . I have permission to shoot one in the field if they get close but that is not happening so far . So I am going to put out apples instead of corn hoping that draws them or at least one away from the wheat field . Matt good luck too hope you get one .
