chromage Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I went out scouting friday and found two spot. The rut is going to start here in Michigan anytime in the next few weeks. I found these two spots but I am not sure about them. Maybe I shouldn't even put a stand up in these area's but continue looking. The first is an acorn grove next to a very small creek if you want to call it that. To the south east of the creek is a guy who is baiting with sugar beats. The acord grove has a trail on the far east of it but doesn't look like any trails are in the acorn grove. However, there are trails all around the area. The other spot is down in a thicket/swamp. If you walk north you hit swamp and thick stuff. Then there is the trail, at least I think it's a trail. There are some old pink tape on tree's. I don't think the trail would still be there if something was no using it. If you continue walking pass the trail it's nothing but THICK stuff. Not much hunting pressure here. Where would you guys put up your last stand if you were me? I was thinking of putting my stand in the thick stuff and just using my climber in the acrons. However, to get to the acorns you go through thick stuff and I could imagine a ton of racket being made. Any insight would be nice. Thanks I did go out hunting this evening and was expecting wsw winds. When I got to my stand is was blowing directly south meaning my scent all over the trails. I ended up choosing not to go to this stand but another one. Unfor. I left my climber at home which I was bummed out about. Ended up hunting from the ground and didn't see squat. Same winds are suppose to happen tomarrow. Think I might go back to this area but w/ my climber this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDeer4Life Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Re: 1 stand left....two spots use your climber on the acorn spot REALLY early in the morning...like 2 hours before any sign of daylight. Get one of those bucks coming back and snacking on acorns before he heads to his bed (thick stuff) its what id do.. good luck! Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
