Well, I just lost a long post as the stupid site timed out; let's see if I can remember some of it. [:@]

Be careful of moving too deeply into the woods when hunting a food source such as beans, as deer will often bed very closely to their food source in warm weather (I've seen them laid up 100 yards or less at this time of year). This is where it can pay off to have several pre-hung fixed positions in place once you've done your homework.

A possible strategy as well is to place a deke in the field. You won't be utilizing it like you do during the rut; this will be more of a "confidence decoy", comforting the arriving deer. Put it 50 yards out into the field past your set. It'll serve a two-fold purpose: One, it instills confidence and eases nerves (put at least one if not both antlers on it so does won't become agitated at it). Just as importantly, it keeps the deer from blowing past the inside edge and running 30 yards out into the field. If they spy the deke out in the field just before they make that little dash, they may stop in a perfect position in front of your stand.
