[QUOTE="KDM, post: 308649, member: 314"] I love it when a plan comes together. Duckslayer100 told me he could only hunt in the morning which SUCKS for the stand I wanted him in due to the fact that the deer wander all over the place with no rhyme or reason. Sitting in the morning usually ends up with a guy listening to snorts, stomps, and other unwanted sounds from being busted by deer as they smell you. So, I cooked up a plan to bring duckslayer into the stand with 20 minutes or so before shooting time with the idea that any deer still wandering about would be encouraged to move into the cover so he could get into the stand and then have them come back out after I had left. Well it worked TOO WELL. We bumped 3 deer that were exactly downwind from the stand so if he would have gone in on foot or been there at the usual time he would have gotten busted and the hunt may have been a flop. The deer just trotted out of the way of the truck and into the brush like they were supposed to and we got him into the stand without any snorting or stomping. 5 minutes after I left him in the stand, he had 4 does come in before he could see them properly to shoot. Then when he could see them they were blended together and didn't offer any clear shots as one was behind the other or facing toward or away. I can only imagine the rodeo they made.
