RE: where the deer come from
If t he wind is from the North, set up on the South side of a East-West trail, A west Wind, set up on the East side of a North-South trail. When setting up, just make sure that the wind is blowing in your face when facing the trail. Sometimes you have to adjust accordingly.
If you are hunting in the morning, and there is little wind, setup on the uphill side, in the evening, setup downhill. In the mornings, as things warm up, the breeze will have a tendency to rise, the opposite happens in the evening.
You will have to get busted a couple of times for th is to hit home, and you don' t have to be a novice to get busted in a setup.
