I usually go two days early and hunt pheasants in the pivot corners and weed rows. Spend the last afternoon scouting for my deer. All of our hunting is spot and stalk so we can find them before we hunt them. Sometimes if the weather is decent we'll shoot prairie dogs for a day or two.
Finding deer here isn't the hard part, getting close enough for a shot is the hard part.
I don't like and don't wear cologne....smells like rotten fruit.
