Pro tip that I know several guys have successfully used this year... instead of just hanging cameras at feeders, walk your woods and put your cameras on community scrapes. In one area that I hunt, I've got three 4 YO bucks (or older) that's hitting a scrape. None of them have been caught on my feeder which is 600 yards away during the entire late summer/fall.
Bingo. People don’t want to admit they’ve become lazy and don’t actually like to hunt. They like the convenience of sitting over something predictable. I’m pointing fingers at myself too, so yall don’t get too riled up. It is just the truth. I did a little walk about this morning and found multiple species of red and white oaks still holding acorns in the canopy, with acorns all over the ground. Rubs everywhere. Scrapes everywhere. Deer tracks and droppings everywhere. You know what? My cameras are still showing 1/4 of the activity they typically show right now. I’ve had rare days where a lot of deer would show up, but for the most part, they’re not.
