Last Season Deer Scouting With Trail Cams

Now that deer season is over in PA, this is a great time to scout for deer. Deer eventually calm down and return to their normal patterns. Snow is usually prevalent in the North, and this can show some great game trails and deer sign. I also utilize trail cams, and see what deer made it and the size of deer and numbers. I personally like the Moultree products as they have worked very well for me. Put them in positions of high traffic and also don't be afreaid to search for new deer areas. I have gained much knowledge by studying the woods in late winter! Give this a chance to enhance deer opportunities for the upcomong year.

Late Season Lake Erie Duck Hunting Goldeneye

Last week of duck hunting off Lake Erie. Shorelines starting to freeze up. Found some open water on a strong Nort West wind. Set a small spread, natural look. Key here is to outsmart the birds. These are smart birds by now. Small spread, did not call. Also, chose a well hidden blind and hid well. Must be carefull not to flare these late season birds. Good number of birds as I knocked down four skirting my spread. 2 Common Merganzers and 2 Goldeneyes.
Great day to enjoy Late Season action.

Warren County PA Pheasants On Gamelands

Went for a mid season pheasant hunt on PA gamelands in Warren County. Got a nice pair of birds, a hen and a ringneck. Pushed hard through the brush. Found birds on the edges of fields in tight cover. Birds were holding extra tight, and needed a good dog to launch them. Fun day to be chasing these tasty birds.
