I took the third week off, maybe I should reconsider.

Set up a few tree stands and rotate use between them. If no stands make some natural blinds along well used trails. Its really not that difficult, running dogs is like shooting fish in a barrel compared to actually hunting and stalking the deer yourself.

I don’t know that you’ve hunted behind dogs before. It’s not quite shooting fish in a barrel. Otherwise you’ve got good advice!

November 3rd and 11th seem to be lucky days for me.

Usually if its 0 overnight and we had some frost I find it very effective...usually the 7-10 days before the controlled hunt

X2, the week before the first controlled hunt is when I put most of my time in and it usually pays off.

Any day to get out in nature is a good one :)
