Dr Woods, Heading for Kentucky for the first time. Will be hunting on public land. We are going to be at Higginson Henry WMA. Any suggestions to make this hunt the most successful in this area? Really looking forward to coming to Kentucky to see “what the creator has to say there”. Really appreciate your making that comment, it has made me a real fan of your show. Thanks again and thanks for your time, Don Jackson

Don,

Your timing is good! I hope a cold front passes while you are hunting!!  

When hunting public land I still focus on learning the best sources of food, cover, and water and how other hunters are impacting those areas.  Remember that fear is a primary motivation for deer. For example, it could be a great food source but with due to hunting pressure deer might only use it after dark or not at all.

Scout for deer and hunters!

Enjoy creation,
