I stay out of the woods period. It belongs to the deer and I don’t put un-needed pressure on them. At one of my locations I have a creek about 500 yards from my rifle blind. In 4 years I’ve hunted there I’ve never walked any of the many trails to the creek. I want to and probably will soon enough to find a good bow stand location. But until then I just let the deer be deer. That doesn’t make me a better hunter than anyone in fact it probably makes me less of a hunter. It’s just one of my many pet peeves when it comes to hunting. Minimize human intrusion just makes sense to me. Now along ROWs and roads I’m always looking for scrapes and rubs but seldom see any.

I had a great weekend of hunting, even though I didn't shoot anything. I saw deer every sit and had a few shot opportunities. Yesterday they were really moving around 10:30-Noon. Today they were active all morning, and I watched a beautiful 8 point at 10 yards for quite a while. He made a scrape about 30 yards away and gave the bush a thrashing.
I could hear grunting and chasing back in the thick stuff until almost noon.
Logging roads are full of tracks where there were hardly any last week. You can even smell the musky scent of rutting bucks hanging in the air.
The other guys on the lease (feeder watchers) saw very few deer but shot some hogs.
GarGuy was dead on...it has started.
