Deer in wmu 47

[poltrojan]

spent 6 days in WMU47 near Mowat off 69 just south of french river.
2 days scouting, 4 days hunting. nothing. lots of tracks, no deer seen, one bull moose seen.

1st year out hunting deer. kind of a disappointment but lost of fresh air and clear night sky to see the milky way.

Just talked to my friend that has a camp in zone 47, 2 weeks of hunting,15 guys first week, 15 guys the second.
3 deer shot, they saw more moose than deer and could not get a tag for them either.

TOO WARM, I was in 47 for the first week. There were 5 of us, all with trail cams. Every single night we each had multiple deer from fawns all the way up to big bucks on all of our cams. We didn't see a single deer during the day. We only found a couple scrapes and the other sign in the bush was little. The trail cams proved that the deer were there, just not in the day time, and rut activity was nil.

I was up there last week from thursday to sunday and my two buddies were up there for 10 days. We saw lots of sign, one guy missed an 8 point buck the first day. They saw lots of does but I'm the only one with a doe tag and I couldn't get up there earlier due to work and my 2 month old daughter. When we were sitting in our most promising spot on saturday morning my buddy scared away the only two does we saw that had walked into within 15 yards but on the wrong side of me. Note to everyone, if you didnt already know make sure you turn off any watch alarms as well as other electronics. I was painstakingly taking my time turning to get a shot and my buddies alarm went off... It seemed like they were around just not at the times we were hunting which was from legal light until legal light.

Second week of gun season in 47, 12 guys. Seen only 3 does, shot and missed. The worst year out of 5 years us hunting there. Seen moose EVERY day. We blame worm weather.

We hunted the 1st week within 4-5 km of Lake Commanda. By the end of the day Thursday we had 7 deer down and we seen at least that many more. Were in the honey hole for sure in that part of our province.

guy hunted not far from you. At our camp we were seeing the local deer only. By the last of the second week we were starting to see sign of the migration starting from the north. I imagine with this snow and colder weather the yards will be filling up. Anyone bowhunting in this area should have some luck, we got a nice buck. old243

From what I understand there is one in Loring that has been there for a long time. They had to move it away from the road and the new location is a bit of a secret though, to keep the natives from shooting them from the road.

Ya your right thats where it was.
