I tried that before and all I saw were tails waving at me. Also since I was never using my 12 gauge that shoots 3.5"s I traded it in on a nice pair of Leupold rangefinders. I havent shot that gun in probably 8 years and I needed rangefinders because I missed 4-5 deer this year cause I am terrible at ranging them and didint know how far out they were. Figured trading something I wasnt using for something I desperately needed was a good move. And Im not shooting a rifle on a level.
Also the only places I could possibly stalk deer would be down in my swamps because I know thats where they bed down and drink but the duckers are gonna start WW3 tomorrow through saturday so they wont be there. Im hoping me not hunting for a week plus duck hunters pressuring them out of their bedding areas means they will head out to my fields.
