We. Are in the thick of breeding right now deer movement will be sparse but you can still catch a buck cruising for a hot doe
I'm hoping for a doe to be pestered by me
And no, the Mendon property is no where near the park
I've been trying for years to find such a place but you will have better luck catching a 50lb king or winning the powerball
I hunt 3 different small pieces in Rush,Mendon and Wheatland(80 acres,11 acres and 12 acres)
I have taken 1 deer on each property this season
These are by no means sanctuaries as they see a lot of pressure come gun season and 2 of the areas get some surrounding pressure during archery season.
I am a firm believer that every piece of property holds some good mature buck
Hunt with the right wind and hunt the right areas and good things happen,also you have to pass the smaller stuff to get a big one
I always say to myself "you gotta be in it to win it".Once you punch your tag you are out of the game
I don't put my way of hunting on anyone else, everyone is free to shoot what ever they like and what ever makes them happy.
I've killed enough deer to be ok without shooting a buck
When I release an arrow or pull the trigger and walk up to a dead deer I want to be excited and happy, not having a feeling of kissing my sister
Everyone has to choose what's good for them as long as you are happy that's all that matters
No disrespect meant to anyone here
