That wind would make sense if he beds on the west side the most. If you could get a just off wind stay just far enough west on the north side he might walk pretty close up the west side of the property line. He would be laying with wind over back facing downwind so keep that in mind on your access. You should be able to stay out of his sight line then too. Just an idea. Hard to say for sure without actually seeing it in person.I'll get pics from both of those points. Wind 99% of the time is east/northeast.
The area with all the st augustine grass, cedars, and rubs that I took u to is close by so u got a pretty good idea where he's at....shhhh.If you hear guys say drop him with a high shoulder shot, they are talking B/C 3.5...
I know some guys like the neck shots, I’ve shot one in the neck and it worked well, my buddy shot one in the neck and caught only meat and he killed the deer a couple weeks later with a festering wound. Just more room for error in the neck IMO.

Gotta love internet search engines. Here's what I found, and it's pretty surprising to me:
Peak Whitetail Rut - Florida
I prefer the 30-30 because it’s a better “bush gun” in my opinion being that it’s a little shorter, it’s easier to maneuver through palms and thickets….I would ask.
30-30 is "the gun that has killed more deer than any other." Maybe that's true, but you could argue sharp pointy sticks are the weapon that has killed more bad guys than any other too. Doesn't mean you'll find somebody relying on one today.
Anything a 30 30 will do, a 30-06 will do way better. I hunted wirh a 30 30 for about 6 years and while I don't recall ever losing a deer with it, there was a noticeable difference when I started shooting deer wirj an 06. I get way more bang-flops with that caliber and a 165 grain Hornady than I get with anything else.
As far as placement, neck shots do usually instantly incapacitate. But my go-to is to shove a bullet through both shoulders. Hard to run on swampy ground in 2wd.
I don't wanna derail the thread or poo on anybody's gun. I like lever guns. Hunted with one and still own one. But I shoot most of my rifle deer inside of 30 yards because that's as far as I can see them, while knowing that I can also shoot one at 300 yards. My opinion is that all things considered a bolt gun is a better hunting tool no matter where you're hunting. But we know what opinions are like.I prefer the 30-30 because it’s a better “bush gun” in my opinion being that it’s a little shorter, it’s easier to maneuver through palms and thickets….
It’s even worse than that... sadly!
It gets very specific based on your exact area. I get does dropping fawns around March 25ish. So actual breeding around the first week of September, before the season even opens. It can vary just a few miles up the road, gotta just figure out your specific area and I’m not sure what it is exactly where @Weldabeast is hunting.
However, we have so many does that we will have breeding activity for a few months, up till January on fawns that I’ve seen here in NE Florida.

No hesitation to shoot a hog in the face but I think I'd pass on that 1 for a deer.. That's just me
I am not anti 30.06 either lol I just like to be able to move around in the bushes easier. Opinions are like a$$holes everyone has them and they all stink lmaoI don't wanna derail the thread or poo on anybody's gun. I like lever guns. Hunted with one and still own one.
