Ravin R10 man Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 about all Im doing right now is getting the deer through this winter in good shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The landowner and I are cutting out a bunch of Hemlocks. We need to get some sunlight to the ground in some spots. And the price of Hemlock is as high as its ever been. I always shed hunt and take a look around in winter. But my plans really arent made until I know what crops the farmer is going to plant where.

Diamond Archer 01 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ya, I plan on doing a little shed hunting sometime in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSeb53 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I hunt primarily on private land and hopefully (fingers crossed) if everything works out my dad will be leasing some land adjacent to the property we currently hunt... 90 acres or so... its not a bunch but its enough to give the deer a sanctuary during the rifle season... we'll clear some timber and put some food plots in... i cant wait because the area ALL around is agriculture and the 90 or so acres is full of multiflora rose.. thick and nasty stuff... GREAT BIG BUCK BEDDING AREA MATERIAL and the genetics are in the area ... cant wait to embark on our QDM adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yes, my season is never over. I am always on the lookout for that perfect spot. Right now i am shed hunting and looking at the tracks in the snow finding the bedding and feeding areas and travel corridors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 scouting a prepping for the NEXT season is something I am always doing..... While I am out shed hunting I carry maps of my area around so I can mark rub lines, scrapes, trails and pick out possible trees for certain wind directions.....then plan on my entrance and exist to see if its a possible spot to hunt. I also do alot of this... Im doing right now is getting the deer through this winter in good shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I agree that now is a great time to scout. I'm waiting for the swamp to dry out, got to get my truck in and out of the body shop before I can get back in there. I definitely need to work on having a better bowstand for high ground next year, the rain flat screwed me up this year, food plots sucked, and my lock-ons were way better for rifle hunting than bow.

joeaveragehunter Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I only think about my new food plot sites and mineral sites and stand sites about 387 times a day. Sometimes I get concerned that I may have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Still have 5 days of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_70 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm going out this weekend do do some scouting and pull a lock on stand. I just don't like leaving them out all year and trusting those straps. I'll cut the trails to it a little better and move it over 30 yards or so next year so it's in the sweet spot. Season just ended and I can't wait for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Still have 5 days of this season. If I had as much deer season as you, I would be divorced. I will start my shed hunting and scouting as soon as the snow starts to melt. Till then I have 235 days till deer season starts again.

dbHunterNY Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 when we get snow fall and it's bitter outside I'm still outside going on a hike in areas I hunt that I've never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 It never stops for me. Will be squirrel/shed hunting this weekend. Start preparing the foodplots for summer planting in March. Will be pulling stands asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneCollector31 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yep my wife is already buging me to start feeding the deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Our deer season ends this weekend, I have two spots to clear shooting lanes in for the 2010 season and a couple of loads I'm working on for one of my rifles if I draw tags for out west this year.
