I mainly hunt a big buck that I've I.D'. to a certain area In the late afternoon. When I accomplish that, and with stand location being based 99.9% on wind detection followed by all the sign issues-scrapes, trails, and PARTICULARLY rubs,- I'll get to that stand before daylight, and wait til he cones out that early evening. In many instances, a mature buck-3 1/2 + - will set up shop near daylight to the area he will be at that late afternoon { unless pressure dictates otherwise }, using scout does,wind, noise, sight senses throughout the day, IMHEXP. He might be up to a 1/4 t0 1/2 mile from that spot the entire day. I'd say probably close to 80% of the time, I've quessed wrong on where that exact spot will be { he comes out at a different location.} I'll take a 20% score on a monster { I generally consider that 130-135 and higher. If I lived/hunted in a state where gun season lasts just a few days, it would be closer to 150+ } any season. It equals a lot of seasons not having pulled the trigger or flinging an arrow, but to me, that's not what it's about anywho.

I enjoy stretching my season as long as possible.
