Hunt places like this for my work (forestry deer control). I'd say a thermal is mandatory (if legal), use before first light and spot em, get into position before they move back to cover. ...

Our cut overs riddled with deer and goats but as mentioned earlier since it's being sprayed a month or so ago numbers are less in their they also have pretty handy native cover near by though but...

Again, too subjective jamesgn8. X-Bolts come in a huge variety of shapes / sizes / styles. Try shooting offhand with a suppressed X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon. The main difference in balance and feel...

Find that if the deer were living in the area prior to logging they will return after dark, especially straight after logging finishes. Most "cut over" get hammered by the "Murapara moonbean" and...
