Title: Cattle/whitetail everywhere question
Post by: ladder85 on October 02, 2015, 02:41:03 PM: Please someone with some knowledge:( Should I move my stand since I'm hunting whitetail and currently I have nothing but cattle everywhere for the past 2 weeks straight all day long and then they leave in the evening lol- paid for a bushnell trophy cam which works amazing however I haven't seen a deer on it since my friends arrived :( anywho I do realize the field is decent sized and they still maybe entering it at some point but at this time I'm confused as to what I should do since hunting season is 15 days away .

If it's public land you can call the land manager office and ask when the cattle will be removed!

Problem solved :)

It pretty well ruined my season, was a real bummer. Fortunately they are not repeating that this year. We didn't see anything but a couple does in the same draw that produced to mature whitetails the year before. It scouted good, then the cattle showed up and ruined it.
