Warm Weather Makes for Easy Scouting

Take advantage of the weather depending on where you live.

I have been out in the woods as much as my schedule will allow. I have
set up a new infrared camera to see the deer concentration in a new hunting area.

I will keep going to different spots until the next season. But this way I will have a good idea
of where the big buck are. Then I won't need to waste time finding the deer in the fall when
huntng approaches.

I can use the time to pinpoint a certain buck I found early. This has proven successful for me many times. Hopefully this helps you out in the upcoming seasons.

Last Day Of Pennsylvania Hunting Rained Out

Its warm but too wet rain all day.

I never hunt in the rain it takes away your ability to follow a blood trail which is very important no matter how you hunt.

I follow this rule no matter what the deer deserve enough respect to make sure you are going to recover what you shoot.

I would feel to guilty shooting a deer and then losing the trail in the rain when I knew better.

Until next time Happy Hunting, Deerseeker

Weather is warmer work schedule is cold

Well we finally got a break in the cold and now I don't have time to get out in the woods.

Even if I miss the season I will be out as soon as possible to deploy my cameras and get those pics of the mature bucks that always get through the season.

If anyone has any stories to tell please feel free to post comments here all are welcome.

I will let you all know if I get to make it out before the weekend and how it all goes. Until then shoot straight and happy hunting. Deerseeker

Overslept Today and Missed a Great Chance to Hunt

Hard to get back into the sleep pattern of hunting

Its been too long since I went to bed and 9 to get up at 4. I tried to get up this morning but to no avail. I was just to tired and lacked alot of the desire I had in the fall.

I will try again next week and see how it goes I will definitely go to bed earlier than I did this time. I will also have all of my gear ready to go at the door. Then I won't have to look for it in the morning.

I will go over the checklist I have to make sure nothing gets forgotten. Since alot of my stuff has been unpacked for a few weeks now. Until then. Deerseeker

The Warm Winter Makes It Easier To Hunt Late Season Whitetail Deer

I usually don't get to hunt late season because it usually to cold.

It has been 40 degrees last week so all the snow is gone and you can sneak around in the woods looking for whitetail deer. I also take the time to find a few new trees for my stand next year.

I will then be able to save time when its time to start scouting for the fall archery season. I will focus on the the new trees and see which area seems to have the most promise to bag that monster buck.

I will use this time to go in areas I usually don't go during the season, since I don't use season time to scout. Now I can scout and hunt so if I don't shoot something it OK because I have my buck in the freezer.

I may stumble on a deer but if not I just use the time to find my way around new areas. I will update on how the hunting goes this week in the next post.

Thanks Deerseeker
