RE: Hunting the same spots.....
In the early season I tend to move around alot. But my strategy is different when I am hunting closer to the rut.
I pick outa fewspots (normally bottle necks between bedding and feeding areas or between different bedding) that I think will be most productive and stick to them.
I always have at least oneset ready for each wind direction but it is ussually out of the NW or SE around here...meaning much of my time will be spent in just 2 different stands.
In fact mostof thebucks I have killed have come outthe same2 trees.
The last P&Y buck i shot was on aboutmy 12th (guessing) sit in the same tree that season.
I guess I could move around more (I used to hunt many more locations when I first started) but I like to spend the majority of my time in the locations I have the most faith in.
