I'm a newbie to posting here but have been lurking for a couple of weeks now. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and gets my heart racing in anticipation of the season.
My hunting partner and I will be bowhunting private land around Broadus the last week of September. This will be our first trip to this part of the state so we have been pouring over topos and aerial photos of the property. It appears to be mostly open and rolling with some agriculture which most likely is alfalfa. The aerial photos show plenty of water but considering the age of the photo and the seasonal conditions I realize that things could change.
The land owner will show us around when we get there and I always pay close attention to the people that live there 365 days a year, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can before I get there so I could have some options in different situations. I would appreciate the input from anyone who has hunted in this area.
Will the travel patterns of bucks change after they have shed their velvet and will daytime activity at water holes be out of the question after three weeks of hunting pressure or should we plan on spot and stalk. Do the bucks more often bed in drainages or high areas. We are both proficient recurve shooters but would prefer to keep our shots within 30 yds or less. This should be exciting.
Thanks in advance FLOTH
