I sighted my rifle out the window of my sun room. I have does and fawns out back every day. I've also seen 9 different bucks in the backyard too. I was going to put a couch in my sun room but if you can't shoot them from the couch I better put a recliner in there instead. Thanks for the tip.
Gun season starts tomorrow and it’s cool to learn new things. It’s my first season of deer since I was 12 going out by myself! I’m itching to get out there!
Here is a tip for using doe urine. Make sure you place the scent marker upwind of where you expect the buck to travel and climb a tree crosswind of the travel at least 50 or so yards away from the expected spot you think the buck will show up. Because, a mature buck will always circle down wind of the doe.
Is that legal where you hunt? If it is, my thought would be just try to refresh it whenever it’s gone. Even if there’s no corn out they’ll be conditioned to come to the area.
If you don't need a monster buck you can keep hitting the same spot. Especially if it's pre rut to the rut. Bucks do not like other bucks in their area during pre rut and rut. I saw 4 bucks last week in the same spot. They split up last week.....no more buddy bucks coming through in SE Pennsylvania. Yesterday they went officially pre rut. I had one pissed off at my Code Red buck urine and doe urine.....not estrus yet. (code blue works just as good....I get the three pack of code red for 12.99) He knew I was there but couldn't run off. Bucks are in the pissed off phase. They hate other bucks at this time and will make mistakes. I softly whistled to try and turn his head to see his points better and he ran. He did not run as long as I didn't move (I'm in a ground blind) He made a big 1/2 circle around me at about 25 yards.....saw the horns above his head but couldn't see 3 on one side. Too dark in the hollow. He'll be back....maybe tomorrow morning. It was rainy and gray yesterday. I'm going to start using estrus with buck urine on the 10th of october.
They are definately in the rut now......dragged some buck urine and estrus about a mile and ended up at my blind......12pm in the afternoon....15 minutes later 6 buck appeared in the field....a 10, 8, 6, and 3 small ones.....was like a circus....the 3 big ones were chasing a poor doe probably not in heat ...butt to nut. Doing figure 8's across the field. Watched them for hours. Did have the 10 point go 10 yards by my blind but wouldn't slow down. I called him in after 3 tries with a tending grunt. First time I've seen a herd of buck during rut. Usually it's singles.....the little bucks watched the chase.
You mean how close can you drive up to your stand? If it's not something they'd be used to hearing all the time I wouldn't drive all that close. If you live on the property and they would hear your truck or side by side all the time, you could get away with driving right up to your stand. It could also eliminate more human scent. Dr. Grant Woods (GrowingDeerTV) did a video recently talking about driving up to your stand.
I went ahead and found the video exact video for you. There's actually two where he talks about it but this is the most detailed. Go to the 14:30 mark. ua-cam.com/video/niByd2Eo59o/v-deo.html
You can only drive half way in.......the other half you're driving out.lol the old timers used to tell me "an animales can here you break a twiggy under your foot from a mile away"
An old man who hunts the same property as me kills a buck every year drinking coffee, smoking a cig, and to top it off... in his work clothes before or after work lol. Idk how he does it man. One say wind was perfect for my stand, his not so much. I was like hehehe he aint gonna get sh*t. He proceeded to get a 9 point that walked towards him up wind. Makes so damn sense

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I was wandering how often should I put deer corn out because I don't have a feeder and also when should I put out buck jam before I go hunting?

Tink 69 will get um every time Thanks for the 5 tips

I have a question. At our hunting property how far can I drive my truck or side by side in?

Informed Outdoors thanks. I tried googling it and kept finding info in Deer Drives.
