RE: It has begun!!!
Set up your stand the furthest you can consistantly kill them coming and going. I know it sounds simple but you have to set yourself up as far away from them as possible. Set two up one for the prevailing wind and the other in a place that watches the same route for alternate winds. After the vegetation has grown in this summer cut your shooting lanes. Block some paths to make them more likey to take your path. Watch them in late summer with a spotting scope from a long way away. Get to know them without them knowing you. I hope there is a big buck that is worth the time and energy!
