i no you guys talk about a staging area and all but i have no idea as to how to find 1 what is the secret to locating one of them and is there a type of staging area for morning hunts? please some help on this

RE: what am i doing wrong
 

all they are is a spot the a deer would stop and check out whats going on. Like the wood before a field.

First part of your question is easy. Find their food source.....and you find their staging area. It'll be a "safe" area that they'll "stage" in.....waiting for darkness or a time to move into their main food source area when they feel it's safe to do so.

Morning staging areas are a little different (in my experience). Here.....they "stage" in areas near their bedding areas.....getting that last-minute feeding in before retiring for the day.

I've had more luck, of late, with thelatter vs. the former.

It can't be said enough, though.....you have to know where your deer are feeding and bedding to be really successful. They also change up (or, at least, they do here). Keeping tabs on where they're eating out is a LOT more than half the battle. It's the "hunt" part of "hunting". The rest is shooting when you've located them.

Agreed.

If you don't know where they are bedding, look for ravines and creek beds leading out of the crop fields. When you find them, look for the trails/signs of deer movement through those areas. Right inside those ravines and creeks are where the deer will stop before going to the bedding areas to make sure everything is hunky-dorry before they continue. During the evening, they do the reverse. They'll get to the edge of the fields inside the "safe zone" and wait until they are ready to head out into the field. Good Luck.
