Default Does This Really Happen?

I was watching a hunting show today where they were hunting over a field. In broad day light the field was full of deer, including bucks over 170". This was in hunting season. The hunters were in a little house and were watching them and talking the whole time. They finally decided to shoot a booner. The two hunters got up and switched spots so the hunter doing the shooting could get a better shot. In my experience, deer stop feeding in open fields during the daylight around early October and the 170+ inch bucks are never out in the open during the daylight (let alone in rifle season). Another guy from the hunting party was in the little house the day before and video taped this buck. The other hunters watched it that night, then went to the little house and it showed up like clock-work. They then shot it at long range from the little house on the edge of the field using the window sill as a bench rest.

When I hunt, I'm in the woods. I make sure I'm scent free, I hunt the wind and I make sure not to make a peep and stay very still. Then I may see a buck sneaking through the trees. Two totally different kinds of hunts. I was wondering if they had a fridge and a TV in that little house.
