I have an area that I hunt and am the only one that hunts this land and is about a 350 acrea pine plantation that is bordered by hardwood and fields. The first time I hunted this area was 4 years ago and the first time within 5 minutes of sitting down on a bucket (didn't know much about still hunting then, major dog hunter) I killed an 8 pointer. Haven't had as much luck of late. Last three years hunting I have been trying to get my buddies on film killing their first deer with a bow. I tried a feeder to get deer in three years ago and they came to it the start with but no luck of late with the deer coming to the feeder. I am thinking of just taking it down. I believe the sound may be scaring the deer. Anyway, there are many deer trails in the land I hunt and I hunt in the middle of the land, close to the bedding areas. The deer though seem to avoid me as I have tried not to get to close to the crossings. I have tried different types of food to get them in closer, but just don't seem to be having any success. Should I move my stands closer to crossings? I see deer they just aren't in bow range. Or do I need to try some types of calls or scents? I wash my clothes in non-scented detergent, wash with no scent soap, use no scent deodorant, and spray scent away on my clothes and shoes. Any tips for a hunter trying to get some friends and young deer hunters their first deer with a bow?
