Well my dad is from Saginaw, grandpa still lives there.

I would be trying to scout from afar before season, trying to see where the deer, and the biguns are coming out to feed from the thick stuff. You may need to spend a couple whole days sitting on stand looking over the fields. Opening day check the winds and get into position in a stand or blind that would get you a good shot.

That would be the basic story I read about the guy who took the #4 MO state bow record. He watched a buck show up every day at the same spot for a couple weeks, got into postion, ended up getting skunked a couple days. Moved into some of the thick stuff and nabbed the buck while it was looking for him. Appartently the buck smelled the guy where he was initially, when he moved he nabbed the buck who was looking for him.

Hope that made sense. Kind of hard to tell without a drawing, maybe draw it up and scan that in instead of your pic if your worried.
