Vermonter on here made a real nice video of his hunting the past couple years. I suspect several of you have seen it... but if not, it's worth a watch:
Where...no, not where, but how EXACTLY do you identify an area like this that's THAT active? I'm not looking for anyone's spot, but HOW...and I mean EXCATLY HOW does one identify a spot/area like this? Someone please explain. Please. This video had more bucks than I've ever seen across multiple seasons. I'm obviously doing something VERY wrong.
Sosso, just lots of scouting and in a good area in general. I happened on that spot in the video with all the bucks by necessity because there was no food in my other go to spots (bad acorn year there) so I HAD to scout around and find some acorns. Forced scouting coupled with a nearby sanctuary that is not huntable (obviously) and then just lucky that not a lot of hunters had found that spot recently = more bucks around. There were signs of old stands in there, but didnt look like it was hunted much recently. Tough acces, to, which is probably why its overlooked. Just put boots on the ground and you'll find a place where all of that aligns eventually. I am sure that spot will have down years when the food is not there too, and then I'll be forced to add another spot to my list.
Vermonter - my kids enjoyed it, which is pretty cool. I think that fishing and hiking in the Quabbin often helped :)... Regardless, they actually watched. So that was cool!
It was fun footage, and I liked the story told about the previous few years... But I hope this fall you get into another big one with the bow!
