Am I an outlier, or what am I potentially doing wrong?"

Ooh, that's loaded.

Uh, yeah, there's, there's a l- lot of things that you could be doing wrong, and I think the biggest one that I contribute to is adapting to the situation.

So many times we have success out of one tree stand, one spot, and we just, we just rely on that, you know? We, we go back to that, "I know I need this wind direction, and it's gonna work, and I'm gonna get 'em right here," you know? And we get complacent, and we just think, "Man, it, it worked two years ago," or, "For the last three years, it ought to work this year." And that doesn't, that's not always the case.

You know, I'll rewind just a, a couple years ago, I was kind of in the same, same slump.

Uh, my target buck was coming into the, where I was hunting after hours of shooting light, and he was hitting the scrape that I had there in this pinched down area right where I killed Uno.

And-Uh, it's historically been a fantastic spot, but I could not get that buck to come through there in daylight.

but it might not be, it shouldn't be your favorite anymore, and I think, would you say their job for, for this summer for scouting everything else is to look at things objectively or outside the box or maybe rethink the strategy and, and really tune into the fundamentals, but maybe try some fringe strategy?

I plant them every spring, I do fall food plots, but it seems like the deer are not using them." What are some potential reasons why this could be the case?

Whoa, that's loaded.

Um, but there's a lot of things.

I mean, I, I guess the general consensus, a lot of people think that you just go plant a food plot and deer are just magically supposed to come there.

Uh, before you even decide what you're planting, really, you need to decide, in my opinion, the location.

I mean, the design of the food plot, I think, is equally as important as what the actual product that you're putting out is.

Um, and the size is gonna vary.

Yeah
