RE: New Guy, big problems
Wow what a mess. I like the above comments but have to agree they've got you pegged. Go elsewhere- another tree, another lot, around the corner- anywhere but where not seeing deer for days on end.
I've been there & done it myself, but when 3 or more hunts goes by without seeing a hair- time to move.
When you drop bait they pattern the bait. They know it didn't fall from the sky so they make a large circle around it before committing to it. Everytime you rebait, you leave a smell trail of where you've been. BTW, racoons love corn.....
Congrats on the Tomcat, it's a sweet bow.
