So I'm helping my buddy scout/hunt GMU 215 and I'm kinda frustrated. There's a ton of people hunting the roads and we are struggling to find many areas that look like they will be holding whitetail for his November buck tag.
So far the wildlife area looks like it might be our best bet, but other than that it's not looking too hot. There's private property to the east of the wildlife area and maybe with less pressure in November and some rut activity this area will be our #1 option. Seems like he southern side of the unit hold most of what I generally consider whitetail habitat, but I only had 2 half days to scout. We've been focusing on anything that looks like a decent drainage or creek bottom.
Should we expect snow in November and if so how does weather affect the deer in this area?
We generally hunt GMU 204 and have had success, but the 215 is all new to us.
Anybody willing to share some more insight on the area? My buddy is staying until Tuesday night to scout around and see if he can find some white tails. But we're thinking we may be back to the drawing board for November ideas.
