Don, I'm not entirely sure of how your setups have gone lately as I haven't been able to be online much. When I started bowhunting I'd always set up in locations to see as many deer as I could, generally speaking this is where I'd be most likely to see does. As I learned more and more (specifically in early season) I've started hunting areas that may be more secluded where deer feel less vulnerable. I've found that many times bucks tend to hang out there just for security seasons. As we all know, I haven't killed any monsters, but (as buckeye continually reminds me )my buddieshaveproduced a LOT of inches from stand locations that I've put up with this in mind.
