Got in the stand at 9:30 and am sitting until about 1! Anybody have any luck doing this? Do y'all believe a buck will walk around in the pines during the rut? Baldwin county al

Unless you still have acorns on the ground, there is really no reason for a deer to be in the open hardwoods. Give me transition edges, thickets, cutovers, etc right now over wide open hardwoods.

Check the thread yesterday about a buck being shot on a greenfield at 11:30. Sitting mid-day on a greenfield is not my cup of tea, but while I was eating lunch, some lucky guy was killing a nice buck. Good luck! Originally Posted by CNC Ya'll are just overthinking it now

This is an indirect answser, but I want to be where I can see/cover the absolute most ground. I love those big open pines with sage/briars/privet scattered underneath, where you can shoot really far. Especially when the bucks are up roaming! We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.

Heard something crash and then he appeared 2 minutes later. He was about 10 yards inside the thicket where the edge of the pines meet the thicket. 1 little hole and I missed. He slowly trotted off . Clear miss though. Anyone think her will come back through there? Should I move down some towards the direction he came from??
