Not sure from what area of the country you are coming from friend.......but for us Texas boys the first thing we learned, and we learned it the hard way, is that no matter how much corn you trailer up with you......the blasted Colorado folkwill not be talked in to letting you set up your feeder! Tripod or blind is fine, just no corn feeder!!!
Poor old elk will never get to enjoy the sound of a spinner plate dispersing thecandy of the feed store gods!
But alas, all is not lost! They make these electronic devices that mimic the sound of a feeder going off and we take them along withus! Oh sure, it only serves to scare everything within earshot......but it makes it feel like home! Besides, whowants to actually kill something. We had several do that last year and learned real quickthat that kind of activity takes all the fun out of our camping trip!
Best advice? Trust your"hunter" instinct, use the wind,and learn from what you see. You'll do fine. The best informationcomes from the doing.
