I was hunting on Stemmer's Run in Maryland in 1984 or 85 on a public bow only area. It was around 1 Nov and cruising time. I eased along scouting for deer sign found some nice rubs and a huge scrape. The scrap was one to two feet from a small stream. It looked like every deer in the county had stepped in it. There was only one climbable tree, twenty yards away. Perfect bow range. Now let's say this happened to you. What would you do? I'll tell you as far as wind direction, it was not considered in my evaluation of the situation. What would you do in a similar situation. I'll tell you later what actually transpired.

Did you consider the wind, prior to making your decision?

If I was just dead set I was going to hunt it that day and the wind was wrong I might move up or down the trail till the wind was right and found a tree. Or I would have built me a ground blind at the creek crossing. Best answer would be wait till the wind is right to hunt it from that tree. Or say screw it and just hunt

Go hunt bedding or food source where deer come daily, deer don't visit scrapes more than once, nor in the daylight either. grin

Hey Bux,

I have hunted Pelham Range a bunch. I left you a message in the pressure thread. Check it out and get back with me.
Thanks

Trox already knows I'm weird.

I've been around a VERY long time so it's already been established.

You're trolling like hell.Actually I called you weird for all the posts you've made as a whole especially the one about how long before you killed a deer.I wasn't calling you weird for your wind comment just said you were absolutely wrong with that comment and that comment is still wrong.You proved on a scale of 1-10 weirdness that you were a 12 with your follow-up post to me on that thread.As far as your question here..If there's a defined trail crossing or following the creek I'd back out and find somewhere up or down the trail where the wind might be a little better in my favor and hunt...or maybe I'd chance it and just hunt it if the rut is wide open especially if it's a new area I didn't know anything about.Now since I've satisfied you by responding you can go back to being a weird ass.

If its public Id go ahead and set up and hunt it. Never know when another joe blow is going to come along and set up shop.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Made a mistake Big Game. Should have stated, Trox is going to declare you absolutely wrong.

If he says to hell with the wind on a 20 acre tract I sure will.

You actually called me weird for my coyote thread. The followup was to discuss the predator pit theory. Check the thread again for the AON article.
As far as the hunting situation. There was a clearly defined trail coming off the hill with deer stepping in the creek and continuing up the hill. A deer on that trail would pass by me at 15 yards. The rut was in the cruising/seeking phase, not the hard chasing phase.

Now this is where, I'm really not getting you. It was probably a 100-200 foot wide strip of land that ran along Stemmer's Run a small creek basically. It ran for about a mile. What difference does the size of the tract make. I had a max effective range of 30 yards. Only worry was a bad hit with the deer getting on private land.

First time ever, in the area. Brand spanking new spot and one of my best finds ever. Never saw another hunter, there was a gun hunting spot across the road. Bow season from September to January. One week gun season. Three deer limit, one buck, one doe, one either sex.
