Locating late season food sources

Unread postby jpe40 » Sun Dec 11, 2016 10:47 am

My PA rifle season was a bust. Our late-season archery starts the day after Christmas. how do you guys find late-season food sources I'm not hunting any agricultural zones and there's very few clear Cuts mostly just big Woods. we've also had a poor Acorn crop and mast crop this year. During my archery and rifle season hunting I haven't really found any food sources being used other than Greenbrier. Thanks in advance

In your situation, drive roads ... cut a track/trail ... follow it to the food source.

That is the best tactic if you have snow. Let the deer show you what they are feeding on. This time of the year food is a priority especially with frigid temps.
