Unless there will be a TON of ML hunters messing things up for him I would be willing to bet at some point a buck strolls past that scrape. Last saturday I watched a 2.5 year old come down a field edge around 9 am hitting the scrapes, that was fairly late. Then at 10 a small buck pushed 5 does past me. I'd set him up there since he's looking for anything. He will see one.

As for me, I'll be tucked near the edge of this monster thicket hoping to catch mr big coming back to bed. Plus I don;t know how much this area gets hit with ML people, so maybe holding tight to cover will help. And for the record this ML season and rifle seasonin the middle of archery just turns my stomach[:@][:'(]

Good luck all who are out this weekend.
