So what's your

stance on that? Yeah, I mean, I'm big in the all-day hunts here.

I think that just like it comes down to finding some kind of a travel funnel, whether that be the edge of doe bedding or a drain shop in between two doe bedding areas, just like get in there and just ride it out.

Um, if you know that you're in a, in a place where there's deer hanging around sooner or later, they're going to come through there.

Um, I think like this is especially true in the big wood settings.

I feel that you can go a full day and not see a deer, but then you could easily go back into that same tree the next day and see a dozen.

Um, it just, it really depends on like.

So how close, like, how close would be too close to, like, a bedding area that you – Um,

set up here for an evening or set up here for a morning type hunt.

Yeah, so I've always based my preseason scouting.

I'm looking for the food sources and if I find a lot of hot sign, we'll say a bunch of fresh rubs, you know, feeding underneath some of the oak trees, rubbing the saplings near them.

And like that, that's one thing that gets me fired up right away.

Like I know the bucks are in the area.

I know they're feeding here.

And then I'm also looking for the cover.

When that velvet sheds, do you typically try and readjust your cameras, or do you kind of keep your cameras in the same location they were when they got them in velvet? I usually, I mean, so

So...

I think you have to have the right factors too.

I mean, obviously you have to do your scouting and you have to really know your terrain too because you know as well as I do, you're hunting mornings, you have a good chance of bumping those deer as you're trying to set up and stuff.

But one of the most predictable areas for me personally like if i can find a concentrated food source like we were talking about where it's not acorns all over and a uh a thick bedding very very close to that food i have one of those spots right now and i mean i have a pile of pretty good you know nice 10 points and stuff and they're there in daylight right now i hunted this a few times last season and i hunted it I hunted the first, the opening day and I ended up seeing three shooter bucks together in a group.

And I mean, they, they fed right within about 35 yards of me.

And I mean, it was just one of the, like the most like gotcha, you know, Eureka moments for me.

I'm like, wow, these, you know, these deer aren't unkillable.

Yeah.
