rybo....I agree. I don't wnat ANYONE to think I don't think they're incredibly smart animals. I DO. I have to adjust my thinking every time I think they're not. It's why I'm contemplating staying out of the woods for a while as a SMART strategy.....though that's tough for me to do.

I hope everyone also understands that my situation is unique. I hunt unpressured deer (only pressure they get....REAL pressure....is from ME). I don't have ANY experince with the transverse. I can be and AM my own worst enemy.
