Thread: Summer Deer Hunting Strategies

If you drive past a deer farm check out what they are doing.
It isn't a bad indication what the deer in the bush are doing.
I thought I was really clever but talking to @7mmwsm
I found I wasn't the only one who did this.

It might just be that me and you are the two dummies on the Forum @erniec.
But I do agree that watching undisturbed deer, in any situation will give you an idea of what the get up to at any time of day.
During the heat of the day they are usually resting. And a lot harder to find and sneek in on than one that's up and feeding. Feeding deer give themselves away with noise and movement. And are focused on feeding.

The bite times on GPS are good for this,I believe it's based on tide and possible the old Maori fishing calender is too.
