Actually, I had in mind originally to use a blind, but I posted a few days ago about it and most said I would spook deer if I set it up that morning and used it. I can't leave it sit if I'm not there, I've had to much stolen already.

The only problem I see with actually hunting the edges is that there is about 3 trails where it looks like they are leaving the bedding area, none close together except in the middle where they all join under that tree I speak of.

And its not a good tree, its spindly and crocked as heck, but I can get a lone wolf in it about 20-22 feet and level it I think.

P.S., thats some good bucks there magicman, I really like the monster eight, what a monster!
