thanks guys.. i like the ideas everyone gave me as they are things i def. havent tried yet. i think this weekend i will do the clean path and set up my camera. i have 2 regular cameras and 1 of the cameras that take a picture every 5 seconds. thats the one ill start using i guess. and getting a doe decoy is something i always wanted just never got around to it. hopefully the commotion of raking the trail and being out there wont spook him before the season starts. september 14th is opening day of early bow season for us so i will try to do what i can asap. he has already been spotted in the field this summer so hopefully i dont mess anything up. thanks guys and anymore information i can get will always help.
