New Spot - Thoughts?

Unread postby Z7WIBoy » Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:12 am

Team Beast
I was taking my son fishing and saw that our WI DNR expanded this piece of property. If anybody could provide thoughts as to where I should start with stand on my back that would be greatly appreciated:

You should post a topo also.

Here are the spots that scream out "buck bed here"

Here is the line that I would scout with the stand on my back.... My line wanders into the swamp a little, but you would want to walk in the timber and expect to have bucks bedded in the marsh/swamp along the transition.

I have one more question and it really comes down to stand on your back hunting:
Say you are walking into this new spot with stand on your back ready to hunt. In your process of walking the transition line you bump a really good buck:
Do you call it a wash and scout the rest of the property to gain knowledge - not worrying about hunting or do you stick to the plan and stay the course of scouting the transition lines and hunt on good sign.
Just trying to gain thoughts and ideas of scouting new spots ready to hunt

If I kicked a good buck, I would definatly be thinking about a future hunt in that spot... However, I would continue with the plan, and look for another spot to hunt that day.

The buck that would have gotten bumped... to hunt him on a future day, how would you go about that?
Do you look at your maps and see where you bumped him, decide by that days wind where he may have been bedded? Or would you try and decide which wond would be best to hunt him where you bumped him?
