Default RE: Speaking of acorns....

Reflective tacks..I think not, but another subject.

The biggest things are to play the wind and to leave and enter without the deer knowing you were there. If you set up where they are feeding you run the risk of bumping them when you enter the wood before daylight or early evening and the risk that the small bucks and does will be under your stand at and after dark allowing you no way to get out of the woods without being busted.

Also 30-40 yards from a bed down area, if this is the section they are using on that day is little too close of me if you are entering during the afternoon.

I would look for an area which will give me the wind advantage on most days and a stand location where I did not need to travel too far into their home area.

In addition if there are big bucks in the area I would hunt all day. Less chance to bump deer in the area and if you can hunt all day why leave your good stand location. The more time you spent there undetected the more likely you are to get you opportunity. Can you use the creek for an advantage to get in and out of your location?

Good Luck.....
