RE: My hunting month of September at a glance
Thanks, guys. I'm realizing day in and day out how much I still need to learn. One big lesson......is when NOT to hunt......OR....when to stay out of a certain area.
I'll be using my good spots less and less.....and hunting fringe locations for a while, now. So...while myday to daysightings and encounters may suffer, initially, I think (like MOHO)...the good times are yet to come. In a perfect world....I'd still be able to do my doe reduction on the fringes. We'll see.

Great stuff Jeff thanks for sharing.
3 sits, first sit 4 deer and 1 killed, 2nd sit zilch, 3rd sit 3 deer out of range in thick stuff. This is based on about 3 1/2 hours per hunt.No buck sightings as of yet. I have a really big gut feeling about this afternoons hunt though (10/1/07). Weird huh
Also if history repeats this weekend of Oct 6-7 will be a good doe weekend for me. First weekend in Oct over the years have been amazing for doe's.

62 Deer....of which, 32 were Does, 6 were bucks (though only 3 different buck) and 22 were fawns.

Nice, keep up the good work. If you're seeing that many does its only a matter of time (about a month and a half, at least up here in Mass) before a big buck comes running.
Keep it up and thin the herd

My september
9 sits- 18 deer(9 in one night)
killed one doe from a tree, with a compound. Everything after than was on the ground witha longbow.
The weather was hot[:@]and I didn't venture into any "good" spots.
