Again advice needed!
Thought I had it figured out. Skipped opening weekend so I could give my kid a last chance to fill his deer tag D15. Then I went for a 5 day hunt trip starting last Thursday.
Thursday pm-nothing
Friday am- see them at the alfalfa fields over a mile away across the highway. Also saw a lonely doe, and a lonely fork cruising in the wash.
Friday pm- nothing
Saturday am- see them at fields again.
Saturday pm- relocated to another spot- nothing
Sunday am-nothing in wash, positive in the fields.
Sunday pm-back to original spot, nothing (too depressed to camp-got a hotel room)
Monday am- nothing and called it quits.
So I'm thinking: Hunting pressure, Farm field growth, Moon phase. Either one of those or combination of all three are preventing the deers from retreating back into the washes. What do you guys think? Im heading back this weekend.
