RE: Tactical question.....
Well, I've heard the same. Don't let others' OPINIONS steer you in the wrong direction. I know it makes sensenot to sneak around in a deer's bedroom but this also could do the trick. You may be passing up the best hunt in your lifetime.
I've been told things to do (mainly things not to do) in the deer woods. Guess what? I did them anyway and have been very successful. Just go with your gut feeling. Obviously, YOU want to go in there today. Go for it!
