The one property we hunt is my friends and it’s only 20 acres and all woods with a swamp on the east side. Sunday was the last day my son and I could hunt and my friend drove the swamp. The other property is my parents which is 40 acres with only 10 being woods and the rest, this year anyway is beans. Deer drives have been a thing here for my group anyways, but I agree with you it doesn’t seem to be a common thing anymore.
Interesting and frustrating revelation the past 24 hrs. I woke up to a text from my friend and he sent me a video of two decent bucks sparring just before midnight, then they were back at it again at 2:30. When I woke up at 5:30 there were over 100 pictures over the night between the two cameras. I kept getting notifications throughout the morning after daylight and one was a really good buck! The two sparring and the big one after daylight we’ve never seen before. The big one this morning had a harem of doe so it seems as if a group of deer have been pushed out of their normal area and moved to this property.
Basically we’ve had nocturnal deer for weeks then all of a sudden they’re having a party in front of the two cameras in the daylight. They have me scratching my head.
