Thanks for the info, radlad.

I don't have a camera, but I may try to borrow one from a friend of mine--I've always been curious of what bucks are frequenting my area and when. Right now I have permission from my girlfriend's uncle to hunt on a 160 acre corn and bean field, and 3 bean and CRP fields that are 240, 80, and 40 acres so I have a plenty of options on stand location, but being a student I just can't afford more than the 2 stands I have (donations welcome!). I'm near a reservoir so I know there have to be some trophies out there. I do know of one decent guy, but I also scared him up when moving to a different stand at the north end of the field. He was 10 pts and maybe 130" with stubby tines but a main beam that went past his snout and had some definite mass to it. But like you say, it would be nice to know when they're moving past so I can maximize my time at a worthwhile spot.

Also, with the apples, should I scatter them all over or should I just dump them in a few piles?

Thanks
