Title: BT strategy tomorrow
Post by: klikboom 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?)?

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.
