Just wondering how the after effects of hurricane jaun effected some of the hunters here.
Remember areas l had hunted previously were impassable and deer movement had changed completely.
Think it took me weeks to figure out their new travel habits that year.
I hunt a ridge ....maybe 2 miles long. the crown of that ridge is a mess.....from the blow downs to the tangle of new growth. Dragging deer out / through that is a nightmare for a solo hunter !
Here's an hour or so on that ridge....200 yards to go in last picture. one of the few open spots on the ridge.
Bea- deer in pic one,the one your dragging? I usually tie a short rope around the neck.Grab the rope and lift the front end up.Less weight to drag,works for me anyway.Each yr l say I'm gonna buy a deer dolly but never have.Lots of places l go it wounds be any good anyway lol.
That yr l intended to hunt a specific ridge as well.The area was a total mess for about a half square mile.Man nor beast could get through.Thought the deer would just skirt the perimeter but no they totally changed their travel routes,moving to a different are altogether.
Thanks for the pics- that fella looks tasty! Dragging them is half the fun lol.
yup same deer....those little ones don't drag too bad.....
