If you're wanting to hunt over it I wouldn't recommend a field edge, but for just pictures it should be fine. The most important thing to remember is to be scent free even if it's blazin hot outside. I like to start mine around the end of August or first of Sept. Find a spot with a branch 4ft off the ground, clear a 2x2 or 3x3 cirlce and use the scent of your choice. I've had succes with a variety of them and even using my own urine.
