RE: Making them feel at Home
I won' t talk about bait or food plots, since another thread is going on and I am done with the endless debate and BS, about a real hunter and so on...[X(]!
If you have alfalfa and soy beans, those are possibly a food source, no? Have you viewed the bucks feeding in either? If so then you need to formulate a plan to hunt them coming and going. If the bucks are just cruising through, ain' t nothing you can do (that you want to do) that will hold them, so give up that thought. If this is the case focus on where they are going and coming from, pick spots that with different winds, times, etc would be advantageuos to hunger down and wait. I would suggest you find where they call home and then find out where they are feeding. Catch my drift find out where they are going and coming from, then you' ll be able to form a plan to intercept them..never had much luck tying up a buck so i could shot him where I wanted too, I go to them.
One more question are any does around the area??? If not you will have to find them, especially as rut nears cause your bucks will be with the ladies.
