Deer Hunting Techniques in the "BIG WOODS"
« on: September 24, 2008, 03:32:35 PM »
Hey guys, just interested in your hunting techniques for the elusive whitetail in our HUGE National Forest.  There are hardly any hunters in the NF anymore and there is a LOT of territory out there for the big boys to hide. 

How do you guys approach this?   ???

I try to cover as much ground as possible. Still hunting at a variable pace is my favorite method. I figure if their not moving, than we will not run into each other unless i move.

Lots of stuff you can try.
Given you have scouted the area.
Putting out scent, making artificial scrapes, and calling or rattling, may get a buck thinking you are another buck invading his territory.

Don't have a lot of experience with NP hunting but when I did, I found an acorn ridge and sat on top - waited for the deer to come to me.  When I could hear a deer below me and could not see it, I stood and hid behind my tree and listened for it to approach.  Worked for me.
