Went to camp atterbury on a muzzleloader hunt saturday. Sat all day and saw nothing. My hunting partner saw nothing also. On the way out we saw a buck that was about 12-14" wide standing in the woods 20 yards. mile down 4 does ran across the road. Another mile down a 4 pointer ran across the road.
The only person I saw was my hunting partner. There was 275 hunters with muzzleloaders. I actually heard just a handful of shots all day. They now have a 15" minimum and 4 points on 1 side to shoot a buck. Shotgun may be different breed of hunters..My dad won a draw to hunt atterbury during shotgun season when I was about 12 or 13. We went that one time, never been back. People walking by you all day long, sounded like they were practicing on the firing range, people had to be shooting at running deer. I’ve never been so scared in the woods. Don’t know if it’s any different now, but that put me off of any draw hunts.
Love Dr woodsThere is some good info there... hidden among a fair number of misleading statements. The comments are also largely predicated on experience in an area, the UP, that bears no resemblance to anything Indiana has to offer.
I'd suggest Growing Deer TV and Dr. Grant Woods for better information that is more applicable to Indiana.
Love Dr woods
