Brett, Its always a good feeling to "sense" where the big guys are holding out. You can get this sense just about anywhere in big woods where you see trails, scrapes, rubs, etc. For the first few years of getting back into hunting I did this. I rarely scouted, and used my climber on the first straight poplar that I can find tht "feels" right. Killed a few deer this way. I believe its within our humnan instinct to hunt (for some of us), others would not know it if they walked past a rub or droppings on the ground.

By the way, its not a good idea hunting naked with a climber. Things can get caught where they should not be.
