Late season tips

RE: Late season tips
Doany of the surrounding fields have any cut corn or standing corn? If so, I'd start walking the edges of the woods leading to those looking for heavily used trails entering the fields -- preferably near an inside corner if possible somewhere.

I had two plans:
1. Walk into the wind near the creek, find a crossing and walk back to hang a stand. Just go to it each day.
2. Hang a stand each day near fields inside the woodline and sit until dark.

Start on the edge and work your way back in if they don't show up before dark. Just don't walk thru the whole woods "SCOUTING" the first day there. You'll run all of the deer out of the woods.

... and one BIG tip, which John sorta alluded to above: Don't hunt a spot unless the wind is in your favor, period. If it means hunting the OTHER side of the woods if the wind is wrong, do it. Sitting a spot even if you expect to see deer coming to a food source when the wind is blowing from your stand to their beds is fruitless; you'll never see the deer, and have wasted the evening. What's worse, is you'll have ruined the other three days as well.
