Are you guys hunting where they are during daylight?
Good point.

Some guys have forgottenmore than I know but there are a few things I have learned. Rubs. Scrapes. Tracks. Hair on fence. Game campics. All of that is great if you have it. But if you are not seeing them during daylight, move.

lebeau hit it on the head when he said he gets aggressive. I think some folks are afraid to get down, look around, and set up again.Get in there where they stay. Find a wayin and outwithout blowing it out and stay clean as possible. Just sitting on a field edge all of the time like on TV does not always work.

Personally I look for obvious bedding areas in ornear mega thicketsbordering CRP if possible. Look for lots of deer dropping. Deer tend to take a dump when they get up and down. They dont lay there a crap in their bed. And get in there early.

That is just my two cents worth. Not that I know it all but that adjustment has proven to be better than just sitting in one spot.

Had to edit for this. I forgot.Something to think about is time of day.
