I did a little scouting this evening after work. Some of you know I drew a special draw archery tag near home. It's a in a county park. With that brings a goofy set of rules including "you must keep any harvested deer covered up and out of sight." You may only hunt from tree stands. No staling, no blinds, nuttin but tree stands.
I also have to stay 200' from the paved walking trails. Finding deer sign wasn't that hard, but finding a stand site 200' from any walking trail was! I did find a good island of maples that are along a lake with cattails 7' high. The deer are tearing up the cattail area.
I even saw a deer, so I have a bit of hope anyway!
