Nice one, good to see your seeing the obvious signs, my favourite time to bush hunt is just after sunrise when Deer are still actively feeding, they tend to move a lot so get up above them on the...

Interesting thread. I did my first hunt at the weekend and did pretty much as tikka mentioned above. I didn't see any deer but saw plenty of sign. I found it really interesting following deer tracks...

Binos can be very good in the bush, by changing the focus accordingly, they enable you to see through the gaps in the branches and see a lot more than is possible using just your eyes.

I learned the closest thing to "bush hunting" we got by a brit. We most definitively used binos. Was amazing experience to watch deer (parts of)through the thick stuff 10-30m away from us whilst we...

Brodstar, your doing nothing really wrong, we/you just need to slow down and take it as it comes. Sounds like you have the basics right if your spooking them, now just reflect back on your mistakes...

That's an interesting topic, I would have personally thought 150 deer over 20 years is not an excessive number to be honest. Two things that have made my hunting the way it is, firstly watch animal...

Good topic indeed. I met a guy a couple of months back that gets 100 per spring[emoji15] sells most of them. Obviously. So location means a hell of a difference to some of us. My last four outings...

To shoot more deer you need to find where they are and hunt those spots more at key times, ie after a spell of shitty weather, during roar, during spring, and time your hunts to be in the hot zone...

You need to watch those deals, they tend to be less of a bargain than you think. Mudgrip tyres are pretty much shot at 5mm tread, and if they start at 15mm then they should be worth less that 50%...

Didnt mean to be a scaremonger Brodster. I agree that wild game is probably better. Your chances of getting sick from anything you shoot is pretty slim as long as you look after your meat and...

Good on ya Scouser otherwise it could have been you doing the roaring for all the wrong reasons. You are clearly a quick learner.
