Ethan Givan Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Where do you guys think I should hunt? I have two areas on my property where I know there should be some late season deer activity. One spot is up on a ridge with lots of Oak trees and acorns. The ridge comes to a point where there is a hay field. The other spot is down in a bottom where there is also lots of oaks and acorns, but there is thicker cover( cedar thickets, brushy creek bottoms). I have only 3 days left before the end of hunting season. Where should I spend my time? Thanks in advance for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think I'd stay on the first area you mentioned. A lot depends on the weather and food sources. Most of the country is going to get a cold snap, so the deer might be down in that bottom if there's enough cover and food. I don't like bottoms because of the wind though, usually really tough to predict what your scent is going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 The deer will probably be out of the wind so I would probably hunt low,make sure you scentblock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 well, I went to the first area I mentioned this morning. There was several deer come through right after daylight but couldnt get a shot. they went down into the bottom. If this wind keeps up, I will try the low area next time. Thanks for your advice guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytman26 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I would hunt in the bottom. We have an area like that on our farm we hunt and this time of year it seems we see more deer in the creek bottom. On windy days out of the Northwest I always hunt there, because the big ridge runs North to South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
