I will be going into my second season of deer hunting public land in Southeast Louisiana this upcoming Fall, and it will also be my first season hunting elevated in a saddle.
Last season, many efforts were given to see very few deer, and for only one kill on public, a small button buck.
obviously many of the videos and podcasts on deer hunting tactics are not couched in Deep South contexts, and my main question is: are there any things y’all have implemented that have increased success in the Deep South that are not often talked about in the podcasts and all?
my impression is that most of the public land in my area is extremely pressured and the harvest reports are never encouraging, usually with an effort per deer ratio over 60… but scouting the land, there are clearly deer out there!
I appreciate any wisdom and advice y’all can spare. I am hopeful that getting elevated on public will help a lot, but any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
