BT strategy tomorrow
« on: October 30, 2014, 03:43:01 PM »
Ill be out for the last day of the regular season tomorrow. I need some guidance. I found a spot in the timber 1/4mile below a fairly grown up large clearcut with a significant number of rubs. I watched a small forky i passed on walk right through these trees sniffing the ground last weekend.

1 mile down down the road there is another large clearcut. I've seen deer here a few times, but never bucks. I saw one doe here last weekend.

it's going to be rainy tomorrow. Where should i be at dawn? Sitting in the timber by the rubs or out on the clearcut then maybe retire to the timber for the late morning (10am?)?

I'd be in the timber first thing and sit on those rub lines.
Can't we all just get along?

Stay dry.  :chuckle:

I was out in my bear honey hole today sitting for an hour and it only quite raining for maybe 10 minutes. :cryriver:

I set up on the lower rub line I found for the am. I was sitting still in front of an old growh stump. A spike snuck up on me to 15y and busted out. I walked through the timber spotted a doe and then found an even better rub line. This appears to be different bucks As the horn scraping is small coming from one direction big from the other.
