Big Woods Hunting

[bigracks8]

Here's a question for all you big woods hunters out there!

It's late October or early November. You enter a parcel of land that's thousands if not tens of thousands of acres deep. You decide to still hunt. You walk trails into the wind setting up every couple hundred yards to rattle. Does this actually work?
I know that that time of year anything can happen and I'm sick of sitting in my treestand 12 hours a day. Just wanted to know if any of you had any success with that. That's what I'll be doing this year come that time!

That's a Great Plan! Unless I know of a dynamite funnel that's exactly what I'd do. Matter of fact I don't even plan on hunting much from the tree at that time of year this season. It's much more exciting on the ground without a blind or anything. When I go to Iowa this year I'm hunting a zone I've never been to before and there is some big timber and that's exactly the way I plan to hunt. Good Luck! I'm sure there are some fellows on this forum that have hunted big woods way more than me and they may be able to help you out

I have hunted like that many times.I gun hunt alot in the iron range of minnesota and some of the woods are very big and thick.There is trails on most state land and they are usually kept up which makes still hunting alittle easier.Even on land i've hunted several times before I. I've had prety good luck and its the only way to explore the land if you can't get out before the season.Plus nothing's stoping you from stopping and sitting for a while.

The big woods is all I hunt. I sit for maybe a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon but I still hunt the rest of the day. See them before the deer see you. If I come to a spot the looks "Bucky" I'll maybe sit for awhile, grunt a little then move on.
The deeper into the rut the slower I still hunt. Its worked for me in the Adirondacks.
