Scout, set up, hunt, repeat

Unread postby maukings » Mon Oct 22, 2018 6:30 am

Hi all,

I hit my favorite public land woods with rolling hills in the middle of farm country.

I walked the bottoms as well as the top ridges looking for good sign but other than bumping a small buck, I didn’t find any rubs or well worn beds.

I ended up walking back and sitting at a spot I’m familiar with.

What are you looking for in mid October for sign? I’m relying on previous experience hunting this place. Bummed out I didn’t find any good sign.

In my area, rubs and scrapes are typically being laid heavily right now. Last week and this week I typically see the most scrape activity and then it starts to slow...then rut rubs start showing up. Now is dominance and territory rubs and scrapes.
