Is this spot worth hunting?

<< < (2/2)

StickMark:
There was a small bush about two hours hike upward, in a place with good amount of whitetail, the Coues species, little gray things. Fire took the bush.
Anyway, I nicknamed that tree-bush the "grenade tree" because the pre rut activity just tore it up. Ground all pawed at, branches tore and scrapped bare.
Well, my partner placed a trail camera up there, and got one doe in over a few weeks in October (rut is in January and into Feb here). Yet the deer are sort of steady in that area, so I think the above about camera in wrong direction might be true for your place.
FWIW.

I learned to hunt long before trail cameras, so although I do put a few out, I still prefer to see deer and deer sign. If you saw 5 deer, that's 5 possibilities. I know guys who go after one deer. They scout that deer, and it's the only one they want.

I've hunted the same grounds for 50 years, and I would rather hunt that same ground with fewer deer than different terrain over populated. It's all about your reasons for being out there.
