Million Dollar Prize!
Now that I have your attention....
There is a lot of talk about targeting mature deer on this site and that’s the way it should be but what about preferred tactics for just putting meat in the freezer? How about I frame this up as a hypothetical question?
You are offered a million dollars if you can shoot a doe within a 4 hour sit. You must follow your local hunting laws and you must use a bow to get the job done. You can pick any day, time, and public land you choose as long as it’s during the bow season and within legal shooting hours.
Describe in detail…
-The type of day you are looking for (temps, moon, wind, perception, etc)
-Time of day
-Time of year
-Location (food plot, funnel, bedding, etc)
-Other miscellaneous tactics

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
on an oak flat, the first morning after after a torrential rain, high wind storm, after acorns began to naturally fall around Oct 30 here. 40 minute walk to make a down wind loop of it, and cover the thick stuff coming out of the oaks.

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
Any evening of the season that it's not raining and winds less than 15 mph. Location just outside of bedding. 15' up a tree. 4 hours is more than needed.
It's not that I'm good, cause I'm not, we just have a bunch of does and they're easy.

How dare you make a mockery out of this very real and relevant hypothetical question!!! After taxes....

Any temp any weather.
LOL

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
Morning/evening it don't matter. Go sit up over the closest corn feeder and count my winnings.

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
I have a spot I can think of...mine is a great little outside corner of a transition from old/overgrown clearcut to hardwoods. They always shortcut the outside corner!
Spot is just above a great doe bedding area
Morning or evening doesnt matter much
Prefer a real cold day with an East, SouthEast wind. Ive done exactly this setup before. Almost a sure kill by 830am and or an hour before dark

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
2nd week of October, downwind of a beaten down trail between a doe bedding area and the neighbors feed pile, . Been doing it for years. Last year I was in the tree for 15 minutes

Re: Million Dollar Prize!
I've been wanting to pose this same question. I hope to be more of a beast hunter one day, but this will be my first year bowhunting, I was only introduced to the site a few months ago, and I am recovering from a knee surgery. My primary goal this year will just be getting within bow range of a doe on public land.

Brick, sounds like a great goal which isn't as easy as some who have never tried with a bow make it out to be. Stick with it brotha and climb the ladder. Be looking 4 ya in the kill thread.
