Thank you ladies and gents

[Bratwurst]

Hi all

I posted a while back asking for advice in regards to baiting with apples.

Unfortunately I managed to attract a bundle of bears with the apples, lots of does too but no stags.

BUT acting on some of the advice here I found a patch of alfalfa in the woods and waited....

After 5 days, many does and a couple bears out came a 4 pointer at 300m.

1x 308 150gr later and now I have a >120kg 4 point mule deer in the fridge.

Thanks ever so much for all the help, I spent a total of $50 on the tag, ammo and fuel

Don't you find it boring? I much prefer stalking myself. I do enough sitting around at home that I couldn't stand doing it in the bush.

I'm busy running around a lot already, a couple hours a day just sitting, watching, no screens, no voices, it's nice

To each their own I suppose. Enjoy the meat!

I quite enjoy finding a good spot to settle in and become part of the scenery. The forest comes alive and you get to experience and see some pretty cool stuff when nothing realizes you are there. Being physically challenged I save my energy for the moose hunts and rather prefer the tree stand or a good natural hide in the bush when it comes to my deer hunting.
I do wish I could be better on my feet , enough to walk or hike like others do but I have to leave that for the fit and unbroken LOL

Cheers on the success Bratwurst , enjoy!

Good for you, nothing better than a stalk, I hate hunting over bait and up here it ain’t legal anyway!!

 

[Brad243]

Good. I remember your other thread. I'm glad you were successful!

Do you stalk whitetail?

Yes.

Congrats OP, I enjoy sitting as much as I enjoy stalking. It’s fun to sit in a good location and watch the spot come alive, nice to be able to pick and choose the animal you want to shoot at.
