Thanks to all for the welcomes.

This particular buddy is around 73. He used to be a pretty serious hunter and is the type of fellow that has run the gamut and has been to Alaska and shot Moose and Grizzly with a .340 Weatherby and then turned around and fallen out of crappy tree stands archery hunting our little deer. Now he is beat up from life and takes it easy and shoots long. He says he is seeing better deer than ever since he gave up going in after then and stayed out of the woods. His favorite baits are does and no pressure.

I will have farm land behind me and will be looking at a special spot on a hillside where the deer seem to always step out of the brushy woods into the open if not harassed.

I might try it next year after practicing with the .270. I will miss being close though. Thanks
