SD Archery Deer Hunt

[Tadmdad]

Dandy bucks....doing a traveling hunt with limited amount of time isn't easy. Been to SD quite a few times pheasant hunting, see plenty of deer. Some of the pictures, looks like the MO river cuts.

I have been thinking of trying SD, you just gave me motivation to start thinking a little harder. Were you hunting public or private, tree stands or spot and stalk?

Sorry for the lapse! Lots of catch up at work. We were hunting private land. A friend of mine has a friend whos grandfather owns 1000 acres out there. Its all spot and stalk and ambush. No trees really big enough to hang in. I had heard that if you go and just put up a pop-up blind, they avoid it like the plague. We observed a little, just enough to get a feel for how they were patterning. One thing about out there is that its a long ways between food and bed. They are on their feet alot longer evening and morning. There was always good movement mid afternoon when they would feed a little, but best movement obviously was morning and evening. Definetly not rocket science if I tagged out so soon
