That's exactly it. I picked the approx dates and it seems to work great. I can't go anywhere all winter because of snow plowing. I really don't like the crowds or the crazy prices that spring break brings. Summer is just too busy. Fall is my best chance. It's a good strategic play on my deer season also.

So I know I have been MIA but that's only because I have been enjoying the past week in Belize. I just got home this morning at 130 and I am planning to be in the stand for the pm. Looks like things are getting better every day. Congratulations to everyone who has put a tag on one.

I stayed in guanacaste at the Riu. Roosters seem to be the number one target close to shore. Trolling. Small boat. High speed live bait trolling fresh bonitas. Day one we caught a mixed bag (Barracuda, tuna, Bonita, needlefish, etc). Day two we concentrated 100% on roosters but never landed one. The shoreline sights were amazing. Both days we spent the last hour targeting tuna. We tied up to a sprimp boat and while they sort their catch they throw the bi catch over the side. It makes for perfect Chum. The Bonita and tuna love it. Cool way to end each trip. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
First picture is a scape that appeared next to my stand. The second pic is of a very impressive scrape.

October 18 am 38 degrees NE wind 5 mph Clear skies Crisp and cold Apparently I pick the wrong tree this morning. Very quiet morning. Spook one deer walking in and spook one deer walking out. This past cold front has certainly changed the deer woods. I saw a total of six scapes walking out this morning including one literally at the base of my stand. It's not just scapes popping up every where but also rubs. I saw a handful of new rubs today also. The deer woods is on the verge of chaos!!! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
October 17 pm 47 degrees Partly cloudy Occasional rain NW wind 10-20 mph with gusts 35+ Crazy windy this afternoon and that's my blame for the lack of deer sighted. I saw four fresh scapes on the walk in so that was a good sign for things to come. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
