Title: One day left, what to do?
Post by: Mr T on December 30, 2012, 06:17:41 PM: One day left to prevent tag soup. Bait, sit, and wait has not been successful yet. May go mobile on the last day. Anybody else changing up their strategy on the last day?

I've hunted hard the last two days including today and have had close calls but couldn't put it all together. My hunt tonight was ruined. I was all set up for the evening and had been glassing for 30-40 minutes when a guy came ripping down the road on a quad and took the quad right down the main trail the deer use that I was set up off of. at that point I said F-it and bailed out. I have half a mind to road hunt tomorrow since still-hunting and ambush hunting hasn't worked out all year.

With no other leads, that's what I'd be doing, certainly in the morning and evening. Mid day you might find a timber patch to hunt. Good luck!

:yeah:, Drive at a crawl.....maybe stop now and again to look for a twitch or a wiggle... I tend to believe the game moves morning, noon and night.....

Good Luck!

x2 mid day is more productive for any type of hunting than most people give it credit for, even this time of year.
