Swamp Thang:
I'm still fresh to deer hunting everyone has been been so helpfully in my pursuit in Bowery I hope you guys can help in my pursuit of harvesting a deer. I'm going this weekend so a mid oct. Hunt. I have seen deer but no rubs or scrapes. I found a natural funnel formed by two fallen trees that looks fairly used I watched so does run through it a week ago. But no sign of heavy wear. Should I hunt this? ( the trees provide a perfect cover.) Second and scents or calls?

osage outlaw:
I'm not sure where you are located but in mid October in my area the rut hasn't really started yet.  Hunting trails leading into and out of feeding areas might be a good set up.  In about 2 weeks the bucks will start running during the daylight.  I've got a similar spot where 2 trees fell creating a great natural funnel.  The deer were going around the trees instead of between them.  I put a stand down the hill to catch them going below the trees.  2 deer were taken from that stand last season.  I cut my trail to the stand between the two trees. Good luck this season.

Swamp Thang:
Thanks hunted it the other day felt like I was just peeing against the wind just not sure what I'm looking for other than the obvious rubs and scrapes. Oh and I'm in East texas.

osage outlaw:
Your rut will happen later in the year than mine if you are in East Texas.  Are  you near Dallas?  I have family there and in Nocona.

It comes down to time. Learn the area. Watch the movement of animals. Learn where they come from and where they go to. What time. The wind patterns of the area.
