[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 1633823, member: 15643"] Made an observation over the years on one of the places I hunt. I hunt 7 quarters that form a J shape if you were to look down on them, which run north and south. Most of this is farm ground with a live creek and timber and ungrazed pasture running thru the middle of the quarters. I put out food and cams at each end and only hunt the ends and leave the middle alone. Cams and food piles are visited every 2 weeks during the middle of the day. Landowner and myself will bowhunt which ever end has the largest bucks on the cams. We make sure that the wind is right, so there are many times that an area won't get hunted at all. We bowhunt just the one end and leave the other for muzzleloader and rifle. I've noticed that which ever end we start bowhunting on, one of us will shoot a super nice buck that we've never seen on camera at the other end of the propery during muzzleloader or rifle. So I'm thinking no matter how careful you are about entering/exiting/hunting/scent control for an area, the old bucks and old doe know you've been there. Noticed this for about the last 5 years but I've hunted this area for the last 16 years. Anybody else overanalyze their hunting spot like I do?:) [/QUOTE]
