Had one of my most active bowhunting weeks ever last fall. Sat sunrise until sunset all week and never had to wait very long without seeing some type of action, from buck fights to five bucks chasing a little doe at the same time. I didn't get a monster in range but I'm very happy with this respectable buck. I'll be out in august to scout this year because I couldn't get off work this spring. Thanks for the opportunity to hunt deer I would never see here in southern nj Ellis
Jon and John,
Thanks for another great year. Drew a tag for [location deleted] last year and didn't want to waste any hunting time so I drove all the way from southern jersey (we don't consider ourselves from NJ!) to do some scouting in September. Spent five days walking farms that were recommended to me. Must say that it was well worth it. Couldn't imagine the differences between farms. Found one farm with the sign I wanted and spent most of my time trying to find a way into the best areas that wouldn't spook the deer.
Drove back out in December and spent several freezing days from sunrise to sunset on stand but, passed up more deer than I ever thought possible; wish I hadn't forgot the camcorder at home! Shot an awesome ten point with two drop tines over six inches.
Can't wait for another deer season. This year I hope my preference points pay off with a [location deleted] deer hunt; saving all my vacation time in hopes of spending at least two weeks looking for a monster muley with my muzzleloader.
Thanks for the advice, Ellis.
