Welcome to my deer hutning blog!
I have been deer hunting since around 2005; my dad and brother have hunted together for a few more years than I and are joined by the rest of our hunt camp, a group of friends, my father included, that founded our hunt camp more than 30 years ago. I am glad to now be a part of it.
We hunt a couple hundred acres or so of bush not too far from Algonquin Park. The area is awesome and has been pretty good at producing good numbers of deer.
As I am still new to the camp I still have yet to find a spot where I can have a stand for myself. Most other members have their established spots where they feed and sit most of the days. As I have yet to really find a spot my goal herein is to share my journey with finding my spot. I will share how I chose the spot and what I did to help bring the deer in closer, and whether or not it has led to a successful hunt.
Let me bring you up to speed with where I am....
at the end of last deer season I was up in the bush and saw a big cedar that had falled due to the wind and snow. That tree had a ton of deer tracks all around the tree from the deer eating and picking away at it. Not too long after I put down a bag of Coarse Deer Chop, a deer feed similar to Rack Stacker. From what I have been told, the deer just loved the feed. I will be heading up there this weekend and will be dropping another bag down to see how they like it. If the deer are hittign it I will plan on puttnig a stand not too far away.
My goal is to keep putting out feed every so often to not only keep the deer coming to that area but to also improve the health of our herd.
