ODDS ARE GOOD

  LEE beleive me if theres doe's theres bucks PERIOD. I killed 36 bucks with selfbows. I'm saying this because lots of those bucks were killed off places just like yours. You just have to hunt pressured bucks differently. It mainly comes down to timeing.
  Yea I have learned to do my home work by only going into my hunting areas in the winter after season. I scout set up ground sites totally with the wind. WALKING IN-WHILE I'M THERE AND WENT I LEAVE. No walking around after you hunt to scout do this in the winter. NEVER NEVER BUT UNNEEDED PRESSURE ON YOUR BUCKS. ONCE A BUCK EXSPECIALLY MATURE BUCKS KNOWS YOUR COMEING THERE THE ODDS JUST WENT UP 10 WHO KNOWS 50 TIMES. Your day time movement  just stoped other than the rut.
   I won't even run summer time cameras. Only in the winter off bait piles to see what made it. I hunt only farm land so my bucks a vistable in the summer. I use'lly glass the fields once a day some places morning and evening. Heres a little advice. Never walk when you can ride when it comes to deer.
  When I walk out on my deck and check the wind I know what farm and what stand I'm hunting. These change with PRE-PRE RUT-PRE RUT- RUT-POST RUT. You don't want to hunt your stands at the wrong time of year. And burn them out or tip off your bucks there being hunted.  Few stand sites can be used as doubles. Worst thing you can do is hunt that stand site because you killed a deer there before. THINGS CHANGE even if it's suddle.
  I hunt off the ground with a HOME MADE GHILLIE sence 81 only off thr ground scence 05. I TOTALLY  hunt the wind ( IF IT'S NOT RIGHT I DON'T HUNT THAT SITE PERIOD) you can full a mature bucks nose no mater how much scent spray and how much scent loc you where. Set up close I have'nt shot a buck over 15 yards with a selfbow.   DID SHOOT A 7 OR 8 YEAR OLD DOE AT 18 OR 19 YARDS LAST YEAR.
  I hunt almost everyday and never use and scent pervention use the wind. I arrowed my biggest buck after leaveing MICKY D'S A 138". If I did it cost me $ 5000 a year in spray. If it worked so good don't you think fox trappers would use it. THEY DON'T wander why.
  I'M a firm beleiver inthe KISS method. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. It's always worked for me.

Hey Crooketarrow, thanks a TON for that detail reply...it makes a lot of sense and was just what I needed to hear.  I was hoping to be in one of my spots this morning but between a sniffling, sneezing, coughing head cold and our winds are swirling horribly after a massive 50 mph front came through last night...

I am wrapping up (literally) my fletchings on the 1/2 dozen arrows I made yesterday so I can use them to hunt tomorrow.

Here I thought this thread was going to be about internet dating sites.  You know what they say about those...The odds are good, but the goods are odd. 

I prefer good odds in the woods, myself.   Good luck Crooket
