Archerysniper Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm hunting the Bermuda triangle of the northwoods. Or I forgot to set the date and time. I'v been their and lost really good a few times. More towards Jacobson though at least if i head east I will hit the river at some point.

surewood Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Jacobson? That's easy. Just go the opposite direction of the banjo music. Kidding aside, I have a few friends from Jacobson. Never deer hunted there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surewood Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sd ice angular, I've been trying to pattern my bucks. Date, time, temp, but the big ones haven't shown me a pattern to work with. Just not in their nature up here. For example the big 8 my first pic first came the beginning of july, then 7/27 7:30am, 7/28 11:30pm, 7/30 6:25am and 9:35pm, 8/6 10:15pm, 8/9 10:15am, 8/11 8:50pm, 8/14 11:30pm. Just happy to have him showing up on a semi regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 ...well 2500 extra hunters will be going there now The only problem with that is where "there" is... If I knew, I'd have a stand there though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surewood Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Deep in the woods where most hunters won't go. Nothing good comes easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surewood Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Plan is to hunt the big 8 the first couple days, then try the big 10 a couple days if that doesn't work. If I don't get either I'll let the area sit until late October. That's the big 8's core area so he should be around. I have pics from him last year in late October so I figure it's his core area or real close. I'm on vacation from October 18th to November 10th. Should be an interesting game of cat and mouse.Scoot, I see your from ND. Still back and forth if I should go out there bow hunting around the 18th of October. Trying to decide due to the deer herd taking such a big hit the last couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratosman Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What the food base where you hunt? Acorns? That would be your best bet I would guess. I love the first two weeks of the season.. IMO the best time to pattern a mature buck. I have 5 different ones that I have on camera that I would take.. Like you, I plan on getting in early and then giving it a rest till late October while I hunt another farm... Good Luck! Getting excited....

Bear55 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Deep in the woods where most hunters won't go. Nothing good comes easy. Well said, a lot of times if you aren't hunting their core area way back in no mans land you will never see or shoot those bigwoods bucks, not even during the rut.

surewood Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Those areas are old cuts as far as food goes. I have secondary spots in some acorns. I'll let my cameras tell me where I should sit. Bear, I've tested spots where most hunters sit (easily accessible). Some decent bucks, but nothing like my spots way back in. Brought a guy from Iowa out two a couple of my spots and he thought it was crazy how hard I work for deer. He said I'm gonna feel cheated when I hunt down there and he drops me off at the bottom of my stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I hear ya, took my neighbor out for a hike last season. He was pretty shocked that I pack in a stand and walk that far almost every hunt. I have a couple of cushy spots not far off the road that can pay off too but most of my good spots are off the beaten path or a short canoe trip in.I have concluded that the bucks know where the human/hunter traffic is and avoid those areas in daylight at all costs. If you can get back where they don't expect to see people you find a lot more daylight action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
