Title: Been a strange season so far
Post by: JimmyLenz on December 08, 2013, 05:20:23 PM
It's been a strange season so far in my area .  On a normal night my partner and myself do about 5 sets min . We hit beltzville state park , Bethlehem water authority lands .  The food plots near Jim Thorpe .  And shoot over the the game lands off rt 100 .    The first night out made things look real promising . We had some nice action .  It was opening morning for small game .   That was the last real action .
  Since that day I've had a deer sneak up and snort down my neck .  Deer investigate a pile of stands .  But very little dogs .
 We went out last night with the thought .  Storms on it way in . Clear night . No moon . Nice breeze .  First few stand were long walks in and seen nothing .  The next was a field we never set at .  Got busted by a fox in the tree line .  Wind kept changing direction and he caught into us before we could even start .  That was also a nice walk in .   But it was promising as we got busted so it showed they were out there .     That was the last of the movement we seen .    Besides eyes that were well over 300 away in the next field . 
 So far I'm at 0 for 6 .    But I took my gun for a lot of nice walks and am in better shape now .    ( at least better then the first stand of the season )

I called in 1 yote and missed before deer season and that was all I have seen.  I usually try to save some of my spots for late season during the coyote contests, but I may have to dig into the bag.  Gonna wait until after deer season and hit a few private spots.  I personally tend to wait until the fur is prime and that seems to be a downfall when hunting a lot of public land as most people don't wait.
