Kind of an iffy thing, I don't know your weather or location. But they often feed longer when the weather turns cold or when it gets very overcast and/or a light rain.

You have a short window here before his hormones get going and his schedule becomes irrelevant.

If you get desperate I've used my scent to my advantage. For instance if they use use three trails I walk two of them and set up on the third.

Or I walk in from a direction I don't want them to go. They are often hesitant to walk across your trail or in your scent cone. This can backfire on you, if they get really spooked they often tend to backtrack and go back the way they came from.

If the air is *still* you can walk the edge of the woods, it stays warmer in there and the air tends to move from the fields into the forest. If they are in the woods they will move away, but often circle back. If they are out feeding, your scent is in the woods and not in the field. I've actually walked right up on Deer and Hogs walking the forest edge.

IMO what you want to avoid is saturating your spot with your scent. One reason I only hunt one spot maybe two days in a row, then I move to another for a few days.

Good luck.
