First attempt at BEASTING

Unread postby ah110 » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:19 am

Dan and his tactics have motivated me to re-look at my current strategies. Although ive been mediocarly successful, i have yet to take a mature (4.5+) buck.

I hunt the suburbs of NYC where there are some big bucks, but with that comes alot of other hunters. My goal for next year is to get into spots where other guys are not, or just wouldnt think of. This spot is right down my street and ive always thought it looked good.

Its sandwiched between a heavily traveled road and a bike path. Its only about 5-6 acres but it has everything, swamp, marsh, powerlines, oak trees.

Theres alot of guys that hunt the hardwoods that surround it and across the road. Heavily road hunted as well.
So theres GOTTA be 1 or 2 big shooters held up in this thick stuff.

These are some pics from my beast style scouting hike. I only got to scout one of the possible beds.

Found a tree appox 100 yards from the bed. its a hardwood pinch going into the swamp. There were about 6-7 scrapes in this cut.

This big rub is right at the beginning of the pinch

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
