Default RE: What about when WIND doesnt matter?????

Every one's woods are unique. With that, here is my point of veiw when I find an area like that. I always hunt the edges or or other funnels leading to such an area. I used to plunge in and set up in the middle, but without fail after a couple hunts my deer sightings went way down, so I have learned to back off. Just because a small area is carpeted in sign does not mean I want to hunt it...though I will likely want to hunt near it, if the sign points toward a buck making much of it. I have just seen my 'luck' get so much better ever since I took a more cautious aproach to bowhunting, I really think my revised method is paying off. I used to burn out a lot of places by hanging a stand right in the middle of where the most deer are on any particular property, then overhunting it.
