[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2675650, member: 15643"] ^^^^^^ Well said and a respectably stated. I bait, and still consider it "me vs the game animal". I know their weakness, and try to take advantage of it. I still have to blend in and go undetected even when sitting over a corn pile. Wind still has to be right, etc. In order for me to hunt most of my properties efficiently, I have to attempt to "reroute" the deer. Bedding cover is limited, and most of the time where they bed is with in sight of their food source, which is hundreds of acres of wheat, beans, milo and corn. When deer are bedded in these small pockets of cover, sometimes as small as 1-3 acres of trees, I can't go sit on the edge of the trees and wait for the deer to come to the ag fields, it's impossible to get to a stand, because the deer bed just yards from the feed fields. The terrain is pool table flat, the deer know to bed on the North side of cover with a south wind, they can see me walking in.............vice versa with a North wind, they'll either see you walk in, or smell you if you approach from the wind side. All of my stand set ups are positioned east or west of their bedding, and attempt to make them come to me. Flat ground, no timber, makes things way different than picking out travel areas on terrain changes, creek funnels, etc like I grew up hunting in NE OK, and as you're used to in the Talihina area. One of the places I hunt on is one of the biggest clumps of timber for several miles, and it's broken timber and just over 8 acres IIRC. :) [/QUOTE]
