Since I was so lucky and blessed to tag out early I've had a good bit of time on my hands. Im not gonna lie, I love it and if I could hunt a few times each year and tag out id do it 100/100 times.
With that being said, I've been actively exploring options for next year, with other hunters in mind and not messing with their hunts. Weather has been so nice and sign should be as fresh as possible. I've gotta say, my gosh I cover a ton of ground with little to no buck sign. It has been that way since I moved here 15 years ago. I feel like I have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a place I see what I'm looking for.
Are you guys in the same boat or am I just looking in all the wrong places?

Re: Kissing frogs
It is like that everywhere I have hunted. Especially if you are focused on ‘good’ buck sign not just any little sapling that is rubbed.

Re: Kissing frogs
The places I have seen good bucks in the last few years had very little buck sign other than tracks and beds. No big rubs or maybe just a couple, few scrapes. I wouldn’t know they were in the area if I hadn’t seen them.

Re: Kissing frogs
Still trying to find where the good bucks live on my local public, this is about year 3 and I finally saw a couple of legal bucks, neither were matoor. There are very, very few out there, and the ones that are alive have a genius level IQ on how to survive and avoid dumb hunters like me.
Bowhunting is not for the faint of heart. But fortune favors the bowed.
