Thread: Hunting the same area you shot a deer (timeframe)

Kia ora koutou

I shot a deer on a clearing. Nice grass, beauty spot. How long will deer steer clear of the area?

There will most likely, be one standing next to the gutbag now

Dunno you will have to take me there so I can Acuratly judge for myself ,I would say a day or two is ive done that before myself did you through the guts and shit well of the clearing?.

Yeah I did.

Go back tomorrow and film the next one!

Ive seen them roll over the same ground only a matter of hours later. Fallow.

Deer have no comprehension of rifles and bullets, nor do they know what the gutted mess left behind is...what they do know is that humans make a load ear thumping sound...well those you miss do anyway.

the way I see it... if it has rained ...your good to go! you scent has gone!

Sounds encouraging. Already looking forward to the weekend!

Good news those spots on the map worked mate
All the best for next time

Literally hours afterwards. Although the strangest this I saw was them feeding on a clearing pretty much minutes after a helicopter had flown in, shot four and gutted them on the clearing.

I wasn't sure were the chopper had gone exactly, came across the clearing, saw another deer, shot it then found four gut bags less than 50yds from the deer I'd shot! The guts were still steaming

A mate shot a deer in the weekend, gutted it, was walking back towards his truck, had hardly left the clearing and bumped into another one so dropped it too.

My first kaimai deer I had 3 other deer come right up to me 20 mins after shot.

My mate shot a red hind in the arvo then I got one within 20m the next morning, standing in a group of 5

Stop bragging BSA!
