Special draw hunt--how would you hunt this property?

Unread postby 76chevy » Sun Sep 04, 2011 12:08 am

I was selected for a special hunt on this property, a former millitary base.

peak of the rut seeking and chase phase, 2 days in early November, archery equipment only

I have never stepped foot on this property before, pre-scouting is not permitted.

How would you hunt this property? And oh yeah, I can bring a partner :D

Anything goes in that time frame.
I would run and gun, be prepared to set up.

thanks, I was going to try to find a good travel funnel (several pop out on the arial) and sit all day...open to other ideas though...

Looks like lots of inside corners, I say find a overlooked funnel ditch crossing and sit all day.

Do you have a photo with only the boundary marked for a better view? Are there designated parking areas to make access more difficult? How many people are hunting it?

Man that is not enough picture to work with. Can you break it down into smaller sections and blow it up some?

Absolutely. Forgot to mention that. There could also be a hidden corridor right through an "open" field that may also be found with a topo.

I like ha3. There are several edges, and where the two points almost touch in the middle of the field...

I like ha3 also, but depending on access and number of people drawn another area like ha1 could be better. Definitely some other possibilities in there also. Would be nice to get a clearer view.
