The end of the woods being void of numbers of hunters is
coming to a close as this is the last sit before shotgun season opens Monday morning.
Conditions are the same as the morning and a bit warmer. The particular property
that I hunt will get a lot of pressure from hunters come Monday morning as the
owners have been there their whole life and they have a large family and friend
base so a number of them will show up to hunt. Usually after the first weekend if
there aren’t many deer seen then it will clear out quite a bit and there are
only a few that will hunt the muzzleloader season that follows. Not a lot of
people have been in the area that I am hunting this year but that can always change.
On this particular hunt, once again there were plenty of squirrels and birds
using the area but the deer just are not going to show themselves. I still
think that they will come through the area and will probably use this area for
the remainder of the season, but there is one area I haven’t even gone into
yet. I have been waiting for snow to soften the foot noise of sneaking through
there and that is supposed to come next week. I will be taking the next weekend
off and hopefully the shotgun hunters will get disappointed and leave the area
for when I return. The plan for next season will definitely need to look for
more private land that isn’t being hunted and allows the deer to stay with
their daily routines that the deer I am hunting now change as hunters enter the
woods.
