I’m hunting the lower side of a funnel and up above me there are soybean fields. I just found out the farmer is harvesting the soybeans tomorrow. Will deer still frequent the field the same for the next week or so? I’m not familiar with how efficient the combine is and if it leaves behind...
Went near Nelson/Spencer border this morning. 2nd hunt and still no birds seen or gobbles heard. However, sign of turkey all over this property!
On way out we saw a group of 5 bearded strutters hanging out in field. Why these guys hanging together?
Just a quick random thought: I’m shocked that more bucks don’t have eye issues with the sparing and fighting. You’d think it would be commonplace for an antler or tine to dismember an eyeball!
I’d go check for him a few hrs before dark. I’m no expert but I do know you don’t wanna be chasing around a 10pt the opening morning of gun. If you bump him this evening or feel like sign tells you he needs more time...you can make that decision then. Good luck and wear your orange tracking!
No Trespassing signs, barbwire, and start putting dead animal bones around the area. That's what the cornbread mafia used to do...maybe they'll think you're affiliated.
I've caught a few fish out of Simpsons Lake but just small bluegill. Lots of trash, a fee to fish, and limited habitat usually persuade me to try somewhere else. If you do check it out, watch out for the snakes during the summer!
