  1. I scout during the off season but if I do not find what I am looking for I know I can always go to certin spots and find deer. I killed a good buck in 09 and found another buck that was smaller but had potential. In 2010 I went back and found him in the same place and still growing. Tried to get my buddy on him but he got away. found him again in 2011, he had one side that was broke off so I let him walk. Hopefully this will be the year. I will find out when I hunt with a friend in late Nov. If he can not take him then I will be back in December hot on his trail. During the rut I try not to give up on a spot to soon especially if I am seeing alot of does. Sooner or later dude is going to show up with his nose in the air and I will be waiting.


  2. When I pack out my deer I like to cut the legs off at the knee's and tie the front legs at the hind legs and carry the deer out like a back pak. After you get back to camp hang your deer in the shade and skin it so the body cools down. I cut my deer up myself. I have a small bandsaw that works great. I get cuts similar to a cow, t bones, from the back strap and round steaks from the hind quarters. If it is hot during your hunt then quarter the deer and place them in an ice chest with ice to keep them cool so you don't loose the meat. I am hunting in 31 so can't help you much on locations.

     

    Good luck with your hunt.
