Welcome to the “Great Wisconsin Deer Shoot”
You have been given lemons, so make lemonaid.
After the first morning, forget about the natural movement senerio–it does not exist anymore if they are doing all that driving.
Your answer is: switch gears and set up your stands in all the major escape routes that deer will take; esp. the bucks that want to sneak out. If your crew is like most, they do the drives the same way every year. Mature bucks will pattern that as they played the game too many times.
In most areas, gun season after the first morning is all about escape routes. Find the good ones and you’ll have new life for sitting all day—and save face with the family as well.
One key tip to making this really work is staying scent free as possible-just like bow season. Deer will pour in from the downwind side, but sometimes those mature bucks will “tail wind” to a spot. I know it is hard to see it now, but all that driving may be to your blessing.
Soon, just my noting the wind direction, you’ll be able to predict which way the deer will be running to you-just always watch the other ways, mister pig might just come that way.
Good luck,
Jeremy
