Mantis,

Don't worry bout the scent. These deer around where I hunt are honestly so accustomed to humans that they really don't care too much about human scent. Heck, this buck beds about 20-30 yards off the edge of a road, probablly 200 yards from a prison, and probablly about 400 yards from a airport. I am careful about my scent when scouting and setting up cameras, I make sure to spray down with scent-killer before I go out. The greatest part about this spot is that there are always bucks bedding in this tiny patch of brush. To the east is a cornfield, to the north is a road, and to thewest is some incredibly thick brush.They deer usually move to the south when leaving this bedding area and funnel on an amazing deer trail that right now is littered in scrapes. There are three huge white oaks that get PACKED with acorns year after year in the middle of this golden rod field and the deer always browse underneath these trees. It just so happens that I have a ladder stand about 16 yards from the trail that leads out of the bedding and I will be setting up my ground blind in this area on the only other real trail that comes out of the brush. I feel very good about this spot and I am PUMPED UP for Oct. 1st to come
