Property is a ghost town

Unread postby tysonhunter » Sat Nov 07, 2015 6:19 am

The tract I hunt is a nice mixture of big woods and agriculture neighboring properties with newly planted tree seedlings as well. Basically a big creek bottom with ravines on both sides with ag on top and on neighbors ground. I have been seeing deer and cameras show they are there but this is the first time ever there's literally little to no rubs or scrapes. Old lines that have always held these visual signs are all but dried up. The one active scrape that my camera is over I had to open up and freshen myself before it saw activity. Another caveat is I'm seeing way more immature bucks than I am seeing does. Two other variables are be neighbor logged this past spring and our typically tillable ground which was always corn or beans rotating is now all planted in trees. Can anybody speculate what this lack of rub and scrape sign indicates? (If anything at all???)

Unless it has oaks or other food its tough. Around here is has been sooooo dry my property has some water and that seems to be where the activity is.

You may want to consider food plotting if the ag has dried up. Tough to hold the deer if you don't have the food.
