It seems as if I've heard somewhere that buck become more reclusive after losing their velvet. What have you guys noticed with this?
We have been watching two slammer bucks since early July and could see them pretty regularly all the time in the same spot every morning. I have gone 4 times in a row now without seeing them. This is private property that doesn't get archery hunted so I don't believe hunting pressure would explain it.
I shot a very nice buck in this same spot last year and one of the bucks I'm seeing this year was with him last year right up til the muzzleloader hunt started so I don't believe he has left the area yet. I'm hoping he is just laying low for now and maybe his behavior has changed a little since becoming hard-horned. Anyone having any experience to share on this subject?
