JustinB Report post Posted August 26, 2016 I have bow hunted for many years and always was spot and stalk. I would see tons of deer and inevitably tons of deer would see me. Many many stalks in order to fling an arrow. I have killed my fair share of muleys. Most are average with a few smalls thrown in there. This year I am sitting a tree stand. A bit brutal to sit for 14 hours a day but what I can say is each day I have been out I have either gotten and shot and missed (lesson learned practice out a treestand before hunting I am still sick about the deer I missed) or have had the opportunity to pass buck after buck. First time I have ever felt like eh he's too small. I have seen the light! I will perfect my hunting from a tree stand. Just sitting has given me the opportunity to observe many different species but most specifically the coues. It is almost like they are on a clock. Sometime between 8:00-noon a group or single buck will come through almost daily. It has never gone beyond 2 days without seeing a buck. I would find a trail. 90% of the bucks i am seeing want to have nothing to do with the salt. I am on a pitch point and the deer are just funneling through as a travel corridor. long story short. keep at it. find a trail and a pinch point. get a book and start sitting. You will get volunteers just marching through. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
