I've been hunting alone since my partner died in 2005. I don't mind it at all as we spent the day apart any way only to see each other in the evenings. I see deer all the time but I don't allow any person to go clomping about chaseing any thing.
I see deer just about every day from my living room window.

Just a couple days ago.





About a month ago mom was feeding fawns yet.




Stop useing the same blind every day. stop going to and from on the same path/trail and if your deer hunting stop messing with other critters.

Ya you can use bait. After a while you will become a masterbaiter and still not a hunter.

If your hunting in Michigan that salt block isn't supposed to be near your blind either, so don't get caught.
