That’s clever! I’ve had luck near water sources too. Deer typically go there at dawn and dusk.
What changes do you usually notice in deer behavior as seasons progress? I’m curious about late-season strategies.
In late season, deer become more predictable. They often return to established food sources, so setting up near those can be quite effective.
Then it’s all about patience! Sometimes you just have to wait for them to show up, even if it takes hours.
I’ve heard mixed thoughts on using ground blinds vs. tree stands. What’s everyone’s take on this?
Ground blinds can be great for certain hunting situations. They’re more comfortable for longer waits but may lack the visibility of tree stands.
And here I thought all deer were just out to get me! Guess they have predictable patterns after all.

Haha, right? But seriously, I’ve had deer walk right under my stand when I set it up near their bedding areas. They can be surprisingly naïve at times.
Thanks for all the insights! I feel better prepared for the season ahead. Keep sharing your tips as you go out, I’d love to hear what works for you!
