A dead, hot doe within sight of your tree right now is better than 600 lbs of corn.


I agree but not on large, secluded plots. We have a large plot that is surrounded by hardwood cut over. For several years we shot every doe that stepped out, all season long. NEVER saw even an above average buck in it in daylight. Got to where it was hard to see does as well. A couple years ago we began only shooting does off it in bow season and first week of gun season. Then after first week of gun season, very limited hunting on it and bucks only. This year my son killed his best ever off it and I saw 2 nearly big/old enough to shoot. I like to shoot does early and jump around, taking a few from several different areas.


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
