Scouting

Q:I took a 6 mile hike in a large area of public land not too far from where I live here in NE Iowa this morning, and found 8 to 10 different deer carcasses. All but one of them were in close proximity to a stream, which would indicate EHD, but they were too recent for that, all looked to have died 3 weeks to 2 months ago, way after the EHD season, and well after our late hunting seasons too. All were either young does or fawns, judging by the skulls and hooves. The only thing I can think of that might have done them in is winter-kill, but our winter really wasn't that severe here, and most were a mile or less from some large standing-corn food plots. Anybody have any ideas what could've killed them?

Scouting

Q:I had two huge buck patterned all summer. They were part of a four buck bachelor group. I saw them using the same trail in August, the first week of September (still in velvet) then mid September just the two big ones were seen (velvet shed), then when archery started in October they were no where to be seen, until I spotted them after dark coming out about 30 minutes after dark. I don't believe they were pressured, so what happened to make them go nocturnal when all summer they were coming out just prior to sunset?

Scouting

Q:When I first began scouting I found rubs and scrapes and a single huge pile of deer feces,so I placed my tree stand about 20 yards from that location. On opening day, I saw 1 mature doe, who was outside crossbow range but I have yet to see a buck in that location and haven't found deer poop there since. Is it possible that all this sign was made by a doe? I don't have a trail camera yet, so I need to find a less expensive way to figure out what is in that area.
