Deer Bowhunting the Thick Stuff
Have you ever walked pass briars, swamp grass or thick brush and decided it was just too difficult to penetrate?
During deer bowhunting season that’s exactly where you’re going to find the most deer. The nastier the cover, the more they like it.
In December, most leaf cover is gone from the trees and the woods are wide open. Deer feel very nervous. And by this time the local deer have become expert escape artists after dodging hunters during the prior month’s gun deer hunting season.
The lack of foliage and deer hunting pressure force deer into whatever security they can find.
Try working your way to the center of the thicket. You will need clear shooting lanes. So carry a set of pruning clippers to trim the brush and branches. Place a tree stand or a ground blind. The deer will be up close and only a few yards away.
Good Luck and Great Hunting!
