backyard hunting

[meg...@my-deja.com]

Hi,
I put up a stand in my backyard (Connecticut) over some great looking
rubs. I could hunt it every morning before work. How often is too
often to hunt this same spot before the deer start to avoid the area?

Cheers,

Is this legal? I mean shooting so close to your house in Connecticut, are you
shooting close to a road and other houses? If you live in a cabin in the
woods away from other people, the deer will let you know when you have
overdone it.

You can hunt it as much as you want until the deer know you're there.
You've got an extra advantage in that if the stand is in your "back
yard", the deer are probably more or less use to your scent and will
pay less attention to you if they smell you than a strange smell.

If the deer are used to your presence and/or scent, you could probably
take about 1 deer a week. As long as there is ample food the deer
will usually return on a constant basis. They may vary their feeding
times and patterns/routes.

once every 3 or 4 days if the wind is correct. but if you have
pre-scouted you should have patterned them a little! and with that you
should be able to identify days that will be more productive. good luck
