I'm hunting late season, I'll be after a huge 4 point that I found back on my father inlaws property back in late September. When I first saw it, It was bedded up against a tree line and I could only get about 100 yards from it before he decided to get up and wonder back in the timber. I was hunting with my son back there during rifle and saw some huge tracks in the same area, had to be him. Can't wait!!

Found a spot that was covered with tracks , rubs , turds ,and trails today half a mile from where i have hunted 2 seasons and seen nothing but wet feet and dissappointment. Thanks to those who have shared knowledge with a new guy. :)

sean it's possible to sneak up on deer but you move really slow. it's way better to climb in a stand and see em that way, plus it's easier to draw back on em when your up in the air.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

seansfire, that spot you are hunting is decent.  Find a good spot in the timber or along the edges and sit.  There are also some decent trails you can sit on in the timber in there.  Plenty of deer, just have to be patient and wait them out.  I will be headed that way a few times in December (grew up in Port Orchard and family is still there), we can try to hook up for a hunt if you want.
