So I've been hunting some WMA land down the road from me. I'm just outside the city, but the WMA doesn't see much traffic. I'm not out for monster bucks, just some meat in the freezer, so I've hiked around during off season periods (SC has breaks in their season) and found some areas where deer are coming in and out and look to be milling around. For the past couple days I've gone out and seen not a damn thing. I'm in way before the sun and out after it sets, usually leaving and coming back from 10am-3pm.
This morning I located a small section along a gravel road that looked like deer have been moving across from one section of woods to another. Lots of prints in the mud and a clear trail across about 15 yds of field. I'm going to get in early tomorrow and set up about a 100yds away and wait.
I'm hunting from the ground, trying to conceal myself with brush/grass/natural cover for now.
Does anyone have any good advice on scoring deer on WMAs?
