Hey outdoorsman, nice to see someone so close to home. I live 20 miles away and work in Marshall. Yeah it does work and well. Early to mid October seems to be the best times so far. I haven' t had a shot yet but I have had a few hard charging bucks hang up just out of bow range. Probably because they didn' t see anything when they thought they should. It can be pretty tricky especially around here after the slug hunters have been stirring up the pot.
