I come from the Midwest where we have miles of open fields and spots of woods. You find the deer sheltering down in the woods at night, migrating around in the open at dawn/dusk.
Here it’s the opposite, miles of woods and spots of open fields. How do the deer act here? Should I expect to find the same? Deer out around the open spots at dawn/dusk and bedded down deep in the woods during the day?
I will be trying to hunt public land this firearm season and unfortunately do not have the ability to setup game cams etc. I have scouted out an area that I am hoping to try. There is some harvested corn fields in some parts, and deep woods is most of the rest. Should I try to sit the edge of some of the fields or go with a spot in the woods with overlook of game trails?
I have found presence of deer in both areas but dont know the daily habits for these deep wood deer. Any advice would be appreciated!
