Lady luck was on my side, as I made the 3 hour drive down for a few stand-by positions for their gun management hunt. First time ever trying for a stand-by spot. Beginners luck I suppose. Pretty excited to be hunting the Chap for a second time, the other being an archery hunt several years ago.
I drew the NW section of the Long pasture. Based on a quick tour of the section, I'm limited to two roads dividing the pasture, then my 4 perimeter roads. There is a handicap blind in my section, and as I stopped to take a quick look around it, the sign was attention grabbing! Two fresh scrapes, a rub, and fresh droppings. Goes against everything I had in mind for this hunt, but I decided to give it a shot. I corned the road both ways, trimmed some shooting lanes, and corned every little pocket I could see. It's a start, and I'll decide what to do after this.
Already got a nubber hanging out eating the corn. I have till Wednesday at dark to hunt. We're allowed two management bucks amd and a doe, or visa versa. Take a seat beside me here, and lets see what happens!
