Yeah I see that now. Good point! Doesn't matter to me, I didn't get selected



Coosa, the buck I killed was in the MIDDLE of a spaghetti of hiking trails. I had scouted the week before and found huge scrapes on the side of the hill. The top of it was young THICK pine trees. Not saying I knew exactly what was going to happen, but it worked out exactly how I had hoped. I snuck in to one of the scrapes, and set up downwind. The park opened, and when people started hiking, the buck left bedding and started checking scrapes. I watched him check a couple and then grunted at him and he came over to mine, and shot him.

They live with people hiking every day, I figure they have the people patterned better than anyone has them patterned. That was the strategy I went with, anyway.

Not sure how much help that is, I don't think those units have as many trails. Cleckler might know better.


EDIT number 2. I do know guys that hunted zone 1 and 2 talked about seeing feeders in peoples back yards. Those guys saw tons of deer.
