I've tried uncomfortable pit blinds that look like a stump pile and have come to believe the deer are as afraid of the bait as of any blind I might come up with. Now I hunt from a home made box blind and sometimes from a pop up over bait at 30 yards. I'm now thinking about moving the bait in to 20 yards, figuring deer sometimes hesitate/hang back from the bait and if they're within 30 yards I got 'em.
Would appreciate any opinions.

I reckon if'en they be hungry 20 yds ain't no diff than 30 yds cept to you, They don't knowed how fer 20 yds is

Reckin you're right, lmao. How many did you gig last year, 4 or 5, Mikey?
