Covered some new territory today. Found plenty of this years buck sign. Cant wait for next season.
I'd hunt the exit and entry to the dry spot while paying close attention to the wind. If you can paddle a pirogue or canoe in quietly, even better. Actually playing the wind, bumping him off without him smelling you can be to your advantage. Normally that's his safe spot so he will return later. Bumping deer paddling seems to be extremely less evasive than human walking/wading/sloshing through the water.Any tips for setting up near/at beds in the swamp. I found on tbe other day on small hump in the swamp. The hump is to the south East of the swamp not in the middle. Its 80 yards to shore at its closest point. The hump is 15yards by about 8.
Love that pic!The older deer will be in there if you look around. The attached is from a swamp edge from one of the more pressured areas I hunt. 5 land owners surround this public access swamp. All are too lazy to scout the thick stuff and would rather sit in easy access spots.
