Best approach for the late season?

[jthompso]

I have hunted the early bow season and been very fortunate to have deer within range every hunt. I started the late season the same way except one major change has occurred. NO DEER were even close to any of my stands.

What's the best way to hunt the late season with a bow? It isn't that cold out yet so I figured a traditional stand hunt would work out, but it was definitely not the right approach yesterday.

Sounds like you need to find the new hot food source in your area and get between it and the bedding areas. A night or two of glassing might pay off in the long run. Some great muzzleloader posts in here same principal but just get closer. Attention to details is a must as most of the deer have been educated by know.
