I talk about this a lot in here......and people still think I'm crazy....but I gt to one particular woodlot about 2 hours, most times, before first light. The No. 1 reason "why" is.....I KNOW I blow out a lot fewer deer this way. The side effect is.....a cozy little nap in my climber.

I've done some switching up on entry routes......and even entry times for the day. I went in at 9:00 one day in '06 and had the greatest day I've ever had afield. Who would've thunk you'd have a great day gettin in so late?......OR....was that "early"?

I think the deer pattern us a lot better than we pattern them......and I think it's smart to mix things up.
